Dv. Reddy et al., NMR AND MOLECULAR MECHANICS STUDIES ON YL-3-ALPHA-BENZAMIDOBICYCLO[3.3.1]NONANE-2,9-DIONE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 33(5), 1994, pp. 441-444
The conformational behaviour of ryl-3alpha-benzamidobicyclo[3.3.1]nona
ne-2,9-dione (1) has been studied using NMR and molecular mechanics ca
lculations. It is found to exist in boat-chair conformation (Fig. IIb)
, with the ring carrying the substituents adopting the boat conformati
on. The structural parameters, specially the flattening of the rings,
are similar to those for other bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,9-diones.
