7,7-Dilithionorbornane reacts with butyl halides at -100°C to give 7,7′-dilithio-7,7′-dinorbornyl (30%), which is easily oxidized to 7,7′-dinorbornylidene.

The reactions of normally unreactive bicyclic iodides such as 1- and 7-iodonorbornane with bromine has been found to occur readily with the formation of the corresponding bromide.The reaction involves the formation of the complex RI*X2 as an intermediate and is accelerated by polar solvents.The reaction of 1-iodobicyclohexane with bromine led to rearranged products, showing that a cationic intermediate is involved.The data indicate that the IBr2- ion is one of the best of the known leaving groups for SN1 or SN2 reactions.The observation of a rapid reaction of the bridgehead bicyclooctyl iodides with bromine has led to a reexamination of the reaction of 1,4-diiodobicyclooctane with butyllithium.The previous report of the formation and trapping of the propellane in this reaction was found to be incorrect.
Temperature Effects on the Selectivity of ?-Radicals

Bent ?-radicals 3a-i, generated from alkylmercuric salts 1 and/or peresters 2, were treated with a BrCCl3/CCl4 competition system at different temperatures.Exner-analysis of these selectivity data (table 1) shows, that radicals of sp2 type 3a-d and bridgehead radicals 3e-i follow different isoselective relationships (figure 1, 2).Reversal of the selectivity row occurs at 310 and 210 K, respectively.Above of these isoselective temperatures less shielded radicals are more selective than more shielded radicals because entropy effects overcompensate enthalpy effects (table 2).Comparison with ?-radicals 6 shows, that each type of carbon radicals follows an isoselective relationship by its own.
