Proximity effects in fused cyclobutanones. Facile formation of cage systems
摘要:
Chlorbicyclooctanone 3 on reaction with H2O-Et3N in acetonitrile at 20-degrees-C produced in high yield four complex dimeric compounds 4-7. The novel structures produced by C-C bond formation between tertiary centers were revealed by NMR and X-ray diffraction. Pathways leading from 4 or its diastereomer 14 to cage compounds 5-7 indicate the importance of proximity effects in these transformations.
