Jf. Devaux et al., UNEXPECTED EFFECT OF AN HYDROXYL GROUP ON PI-FACIAL SELECTIVITY IN THE NUCLEOPHILIC-ADDITION TO BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCTAN-2-ONES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(52), 1995, pp. 9471-9474
An unprecedented remote effect of the hydroxyl group on pi-facial sele
ctivity was observed in the addition of Grignard reagents to bicyclo[2
.2.2]octan-2-ones, where nucleophilic attack occured from the sterical
ly more hindered face.
