PI-FACIAL DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY IN ELECTROPHILIC ADDITIONS AND 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONS TO BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCT-2-ENES 5,6-CIS,EXO-DISUBSTITUTED WITH ELECTRON-WITHDRAWING GROUPS
R. Gandolfi et al., PI-FACIAL DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY IN ELECTROPHILIC ADDITIONS AND 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONS TO BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCT-2-ENES 5,6-CIS,EXO-DISUBSTITUTED WITH ELECTRON-WITHDRAWING GROUPS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(8), 1996, pp. 1321-1324
The high syn selectivity (e.g., synlanti greater than or equal to 83:1
7) observed in epoxidation of the torsionally and sterically unbiased
5,6-cis,exo-disubstitutedbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes (bearing electron wi
thdrawing groups) progressively decreases on going to dihydroxylation
and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, with practically no selectivity in the
care of nitrones and dominance of anti attack in the reactions of dia
zomethane (synlanti less than or equal to 32.68), in contrast with pre
dictions bared on Cieplak's theory.
