Reaction products of methyl tricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]heptane-1-carboxylate and tricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]hept-1-yl phenyl sulfone with dinitrogen tetraoxide
摘要:
The reaction of methyl tricyclo[4.1.0.0(2,7)]heptane-l-carboxylate with dinitrogen tetraoxide in diethyl ether at -10 to 0 degrees C, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with methanol, gave approximately equal amounts of methyl exo,syn-6,7-dinitro- and exo-6-hydroxy-syn-7-nitrobicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-endo-6-carboxylates. Tricyclo[4.1.0.0(2,7)]hept-1-yl phenyl sulfone reacted with dinitrogen tetraoxide under analogous conditions to produce a mixture of diastereoisomeric exo,syn- and endo,syn-6,7-dinitro-6-phenylsulfonylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 6,6-dimethoxy-endo-7-nitrobicyclo[3.1.1]heptane at a ratio of 4.5: 2: 1. Probable factors responsible for the different stereoselectivities in the addition of N(2)O(4) at the central C(1)-C(7) bond of the initial tricycloheptane Compounds were discussed. The structural parameters of the dinitro ester and related dinitro sulfone were compared on the basis of the X-ray diffraction data.
