SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF 7,7-DICHLORO-3,4-BENZOBICYCLO[4.1.0]HEPTANE, ITS TRICARBONYLCHROMIUM COMPLEXES, AND ISOMERIC 7-CHLORO-3,4-BENZOBICYCLO[4.1.0]HEPTANES
Av. Vorogushin et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF 7,7-DICHLORO-3,4-BENZOBICYCLO[4.1.0]HEPTANE, ITS TRICARBONYLCHROMIUM COMPLEXES, AND ISOMERIC 7-CHLORO-3,4-BENZOBICYCLO[4.1.0]HEPTANES, Russian chemical bulletin, 47(4), 1998, pp. 699-703
The reaction of Cr(CO)(6) with 7,7-dichloro-3,4-benzobicyclo[4.1.0]hep
gave the corresponding exo- and endo-chromium tricarbonyl complexes i
n a ratio of 4.5:1 The structures of the resulting compounds were esta
blished by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray structural a
nalysis. Reduction of dichlorobenzobicycloheptane and its chromium tri
carbonyl complexes with LiAlH4 afforded exo- and endo-7-chloro-3,4-ben
zobicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes in a 3.5:1 ratio.
