Relative Thermodynamic Stabilities of 1,6-Methanoannulene, Dinorcaradiene, and the1,6-Methanoannulene Anion Radical
Stevenson, Gerald R.,Zigler, Steven S.
, p. 895 - 898 (1983)
The enthalpies of reaction of both the solvated and solid salts of potasssium 1,6-metanoannulene (M10) anion radical were measured with calorimetric techniques.These measurements show that anion radical of M10 has suprising degree of thermodynamic stability.The heat of formation of K+M10-*(s) from gas-phase potassium and gas-phase hydrocarbon (-61.9 kcal/mol) is about 16 kcal/mol more negative than that for the solid potassium salt of the naphthalene anion radical.Combustion experiments were used to show that the open form of M10 is about 5.7 kcal/mol lower in energy than dinorcaradiene.

The reaction of 1,6-diacetylcyclohepta-1,3,5-triene with various Grignard reagents gave high yields of addition products 5, which were treated with a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid or pyridinium p- toluenesulfonate to afford 2,5-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1,6- methano[10]annulenes 6 via 1,6-bis(1-substituted vinyl)cyclohepta-1,3,5- trienes 8 and 2,5-disubstituted 3,4-dihydro-1,6-methano[10]annulenes 9. On the other hand, reactions under more forcing conditions gave the rearrangement products: 4,7-disubstituted 1,2-benzocyclohepta-1,3-dienes 7. The oxidation of 6 with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone gave the 2,5-disubstituted 1,6-methano[10]annulens 4 in moderate-to-good yields. Conversion from 5 into 4 can be achieved by a one-flask procedure, providing a convenient synthetic method for preparing the title annulenes, particularly 2,5-diaryl ones. The reaction mechanism from 8 to 6, 7, and 9 is discussed on the basis of semiempirical molecular orbital calculations.

The reactions of halogenated propellenes with potassium t-butoxide have been investigated.Propelladiene 9,9-dichloro-1,4,5,8-tetrahydro-4a,8a-methanonaphthalene affords 1,6-methanoannulene, 4-methylazulene, and 5H-benzocycloheptene, while the related tetracyclic compound 1,1,8,8-tetrachloro-1a,2,3,6,7,7a-hexahydro-2a,6a-methano-1H-cyclopropanaphthalene reacts to give 12-chlorotricyclo3,5>dodeca-1,3(5),6,8,10-pentaene.Treatment of 8,8-dichloro-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-3a,7a-methano-1H-indene with the same base produced a mixture of the chlorodiene 8-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3a,7a-methano-1H-indene, azulene, and 4-methylazulene.The structure of the chlorodiene was established by an X-ray crystallographic study of its Diels-Alder adduct with 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione.While reaction of tetracycle 1,1,syn-8-trichloro-1a,2,3,6,7,7a-hexahydro-2a,6a-methano-1H-cyclopropanaphthalene with base failed to produce any characterisable products, under the same conditions epimer 1,1,anti-8-trichloro-1a,2,3,6,7,7a-hexahydro-2a,6a-methano-1H-cyclopropanaphthalene was converted into the cycloproparene tricyclo3,5>dodeca-1,3(5),6,8,10-pentaene.Mechanistic proposals which account for the observed conversions have been advanced and are supported by 13C-labelling studies.The initial steps in most of the reaction pathways of the substrates are probably 1,4-elimination processes involving abstraction of an allylic hydrogen, fragmentation of the strained propellene ?-bond, and ejection of the halogen in an endo-relationship to the abstracted proton.The primary product of these processes, bridgehead dienes such as bicycloundeca-1,3,6(11),8-tetraene, 4,4,12-trichlorotricyclo3,5>dodeca-1(11), 7(12),9-triene and 10-chlorobicyclodeca-1,3,6(10)-triene, then undergo further reaction involving, amongst other things, 1,3-prototropic shifts.Attempts to probe the mode of formation of the C11-4-methylazulene from the C10-precursor 8,8-dichloro-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-3a,7a-methano-1H-indene have uncovered a novel methylation reaction of azulene by the dimsyl anion.

The dichloromethylene-bridged annulene (5) is available in four steps (47percent) from 1,4,5,8-tetrahydronaphthalene (11) via the dibromide (15); the minor (5percent) product of dehydrobromination of (15) is 2-bromo-9,9-dichloro-1,4-dihydro-4a,8a-methanonaphthalene (16).Dichlorocarbene adds to the norcaradiene form of (5) to give adduct (6) with 80percent efficiency.Diene (6) resists both ?4 + ?2> cycloadditions and reductive dechlorination.Neither (5) nor parent 1,6-methanoannulene (18) adds methylene from Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation procedures.
Unexpected Course of Thiocyanation of 1,6-Methanoannulene. Elimination of Thiocyanogen from a Diisothiocyanate

, p. 1003 - 1008 (2007/10/02)
The isolation of the syn,syn-adduct in the reaction of 1,6-methanoannulene (1) with the bulky pseudo-halogen (SCN)2 indicates a preferred exo attack of electrophiles on 1, in spite of a possible steric interference with the methylene bridge.The formation of the unexpected isothiocyanates 4 and 5 is explained in terms of an addition-isomerization-elimination sequence.The novel elimination of (SCN)2 from a diisothiocyanate is investigated. - Key Words: 1,6-Methanoannulene / Thiocyanogen / Isothiocyanic acid

The rates of acid-catalysed desilylation of a series of 7-substituted 2-trimethylsilyl-1,6-methanoannulenes have been measured spectrophotometrically at 50 degC using a mixture of aqueous perchloric acid and methanol (2:5 v/v).The substituent effects

, p. 269 - 284 (2007/10/02)
Certain Group IVB derivatives of 1,6-methanoannulene have been synthesised, and their 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra recorded and assigned, to provide a measure of the substituent effects exerted by metalloid-containing groups in this non-benzenoid aromatic system.Comparisons are made with the corresponding naphthalene and some anthracene derivatives.Protiodemetallations of a number of arylsilanes and -stannanes have been examined, and in protiodestannyletion by CH3CO2H/dioxane at 27 deg C (an electrophilic aromatic substitution) the α- (or 2-) posititon of 1,6-methanoannulene is ca. 35 times as reactive as the α (or 1-) position of naphthalene, whereas in protiodesilylation by CF3CO2H/CH3CO2H at 27 deg C it is ca. 700 times the more reactive.

Novel Syntheses of 1,6-Methanoannulene and 4-Methylazulene
Banwell, Martin G.,Papamihail, Con
, p. 1182 - 1183 (2007/10/02)
Reaction of 11,11-dichlorotricyclo1,6>undeca-3,8-diene (4) with potassium t-butoxide in dimethyl sulphoxide affords 1,6-methanoannulene (9) and 4-methylazulene (10); similar treatment of the dibromopropellane (5) yields the azulene (10), the monobromopropellane (11), but diminished yields of the annulene (9).
