On the reaction with a base (e.g., aqueous sodium hydroxide), isopropyl- and methyl-tropylium ions afforded cycloheptatrienyl polymers with an alkylene bridge, such as IIIa and IIIb, while the t-butyltropylium ion gave a mixture of 3- and 4-t-butyltropone, which was then transformed to 4-and 5-t-butyltropolone (VIIIa and IX). The bromination of VIIIa with 3 mol of bromine in methanol gave 3,7-dibromo-4-t-butyl-2-methoxy-2,3-dihydrotropolone (XIIa). On the heating of the adduct (XIIa) at 130°C, 7-bromo-4-t-butyltropolone (XIa) was formed.
与碱(例如
水合
氢氧化钠)的反应中,异丙基和甲基托比里昂离子产生了具有烷基桥的环戊
三烯聚合物,例如 IIIa 和 IIIb,而叔丁基托比里昂离子则产生了3-和4-叔丁基托烯的混合物,随后转化为4-和5-叔丁基托烯醇(VIIIa 和 IX)。用3摩尔
溴在
甲醇中
溴化 VIIIa 得到3,7-二
溴-4-叔丁基-2-甲氧基-2,3-二氢托烯醇(XIIa)。在130°C加热产物(XIIa)时,形成了7-
溴-4-叔丁基托烯醇(XIa)。
