Vv. Zakharov et al., CUBANE DERIVATIVES - 3 - SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF 1,4-BIS(HYDROXYMETHYL)CUBANE, Russian chemical bulletin, 47(7), 1998, pp. 1349-1352
An efficient procedure for the preparation of 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cu
bane by reduction of cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid or its dimethyl este
r with aluminum hydride was developed. The molecular structure of 1,4-
bis(hydroxymethyl)cubane was established by X-ray diffraction analysis
.
