1-NORBORNYLLITHIUM AS A PRECURSOR FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL ORGANIC 1-BICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPTANE DERIVATIVES AND FOR THE IMPROVED PREPARATION OF 1-CHLORO-BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCTANE
K. Kostova et V. Dimitrov, 1-NORBORNYLLITHIUM AS A PRECURSOR FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL ORGANIC 1-BICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPTANE DERIVATIVES AND FOR THE IMPROVED PREPARATION OF 1-CHLORO-BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCTANE, Synthetic communications, 25(10), 1995, pp. 1575-1587
An improved strategy for synthesis of 1-chloro-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane is
described in which the key compounds 1-norbornyl substituted ethyl fo
rmate (3) or 1-norbornylcarbaldehyde (7) were prepared from 1-norborny
llithium (1). The latter appeared as a useful precursor for the synthe
sis of various organic bridgehead substituted derivatives.
