Sc. Suri et Kv. Radhakrishnan, MECHANISM OF REARRANGEMENT OF 1,8,9,10,11,11-HEXACHLORO-3-ALPHA, HA-DIHYDROXY-TRICYCLO[6.2.1.0(2,7)]UNDEC-4,9-DIENE WITH POTASSIUM T-BUTOXIDE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 33(11), 1994, pp. 1070-1071
The reinvestigation of reaction of 1,8,9,10,11,11-hexachloro-3 alpha,
6 pha-dihydroxytricyclo[6.2.1.0(2,7)]undec-4,9-diene (2) with t-BuOH/t
-BuOK furnishes compound 6 in addition to already reported ytetracyclo
[6.2.1.0(2,7).0(4,10)]undec-5-ene-9-one (4). Isolation of 6 confirms t
he proposed mechanism.
