Usage

Chemical structure

A bicyclic hydrocarbon with two chlorine atoms and several fused cyclopropane rings.

Stability

Highly stable and resistant to degradation due to its complex chemical structure.

Potential applications

Can be used as a building block in the synthesis of complex organic compounds.

Health risks

Poses potential health risks due to its intricate structure and potential reactivity.

Environmental risks

Poses potential environmental risks due to its complex structure and potential reactivity.

Handling and management

Requires careful handling and management to minimize health and environmental risks.

Molecular weight

Approximately 223.16 g/mol

Appearance

Likely a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the specific conditions.

Solubility

Likely soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, acetone, and ethyl acetate, but insoluble in water.

Boiling point

Not readily available, but likely relatively high due to the presence of the chlorine atoms and the fused cyclopropane rings.

Melting point

Not readily available, but likely relatively low due to the presence of the chlorine atoms and the fused cyclopropane rings.

Reactivity

Potentially reactive with strong nucleophiles, strong acids, and strong bases, as well as with other reactive chemicals.

Hazards

Potential hazards include toxicity, irritancy, and environmental harm. Appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling and using 1,1-dichloro-1,1a,1b,2,5,5a,6,6a-octahydro-2,5-methanocyclopropa[a]indene.

REACTIONS OF DICHLOROCARBENE AND OF THE SIMMONS-SMITH REAGENT WITH THE DIMER AND TRIMER OF CYCLOPENTADIENE AND THE DIMER OF SPIROHEPTA-4,6-DIENE

Dichlorocarbene reacts with the exo dimer of cyclopentadiene (exo-tricyclo2,6>deca-3,8-diene) and the trimer of cyclopentadiene (exo-endo-pentacyclo2,7.09,13>pentadeca-4,10-diene) at the cyclopentene double bond.The Simmons-Smith reagent, prepared from methylene iodide in presence of a zinc-silver couple, reacts with the same hydrocarbons and also with the dimer of spirohepta-4,6-diene 2,6>deca-3,8-diene)-10-spirocyclopropane> nonselectively at both double bonds, whereas it adds to the trimer of cyclopentadiene only at the norbornene double bond.

REACTION OF DICHLOROCARBENE WITH TRICYCLO2,6>DECA-3,8-DIENE

Phase-catalyzed reaction of dichlorocarbene with tricyclo2,6>deca-3,8-diene gives either a mono- or a diadduct, depending on reactant proportions.The first dichlorocarbene adds to form a dichlorocyclopropane moiety, and addition of the second is accompanied by rearrangement with enlargement of the norbornane ring to give a mixture of approximately equal amounts of two isomers which differ in the position of the double bond.
