Synthesis of Some Bridgehead-Bridgehead-Disubstituted Bicyclopentanes
Della, Ernest W.,Taylor, Dennis K.
, p. 2986 - 2996 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of a wide variety of 1,3-disubstituted bicyclopentanes is described, with particular emphasis on the generation of a series of 3-X-substituted bicyclopentyl bromides required for solvolytic studies.Functional group manipulation at the bridgehead was readily accomplished in the majority of cases by radical processes; in some instances, transformations were effected via carbanionic-type intermediates.
PROPELLANE: REACTION WITH FREE RADICALS
Wiberg, Kenneth B.,Waddell, Sherman T.,Laidig, Keith
, p. 1553 - 1556 (2007/10/02)
Propellane is more reactive towards free radicals than bicyclobutane, and much more reactive than bicyclopentane.Therefore, the reactivity is not determined by strain energy relief or the HOMO energy.The addition of acetaldehyde is un
