From Pagodanes to Dodecahedranes - Search for a Serviceable Access to the Parent (C 20 H 20 ) Hydrocarbon ** **Dedicated to Professor W. von E. Doering on the occasion of his 80th birthday. H.P. very fondly remembers his two post-doc years at Yale University (1957–59).
novel SN2 pagodane → dodecahedrane routes a preparatively potent access to the parent pentagonal dodecahedrane (2) was explored. The one-pot catalytic procedure (Pd/C/H2) starting from an eightfold functionalized secopagodane (14, C20H12Br6 (CO2 CH3)2) excells in shortness but, rather erratic (33–53%), falls out of the competition. The longer route via 1,6-dicarboxyl/dibromo dodecahedranes (35, 22)

The bromo and phenylseleno derivatives of dodecahedrane have been identified as suitable precursors to the dodecahedryl radical (4). This reactive intermediate exhibits only modest reactivity, lending itself to capture by the most powerful radical traps, which include acrylonitrile, 2-cyclopentenone, and allyltri-n-butylstannane. ESR studies performed on the same two starting materials have provided additional striking evidence that 4 and its closest model, the 1-adamantyl radical, differ widely in their properties. Reaction conditions that result in smooth generation of the adamantyl species did not lead to ESR spectra that can be related to 4.

(Phenylseleno)dodecahedrane is shown to be a useful precursor of dodecahedrene (not isolated) and epoxydodecahedrane. The conjoining of two dodecahedryl units in a para relationship on a benzene ring has also been realized.
