Thiele's ester as a reagent in organic synthesis. Preparation of pentacyclo[5.4.0.02,5.03,10.04,8]undecane-10-carboxylic acid
摘要:
Succinyl cleavage of the C(2)-C(5) sigma-bond in dimethyl pentacyclo[5.3.0.0(2,5).0(3,9).0(4,8)]decane-2,5-dicarboxylate, 2, afforded a tetracyclic diester, 3 (22-26%), along with two minor reaction products (4 and 5). Dieckmann condensation of 3 produced a mixture of 6a and 6b (67%). Wolff-Kishner reduction of the mixture of 6a and 6b thereby obtained afforded a mixture of products from which the title compound, 7b, could be isolated in 63% yield by fractional recrystallization. The structures of 3, 4 and 7b were established unequivocally via X-ray crystallographic methods,
