N. Saracoglu et al., Synthesis and structure of systems containing pyramidalized and strained double bond: An investigation on the cycloaddition reactions of cis-and trans-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene, TURK J CHEM, 25(1), 2001, pp. 123-133
The cycloaddition reactions of cis-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene
cis-2 and trans-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene trans-2 with variou
s dienophiles such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), p-benzoquinon
e. maleic anhydride, tetracyanoethylene, naphtoquinone gave monoaddition pr
oducts 15-23. Further addition of benzyne and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxyla
te to 18 resulted in the formation of the compounds syn-25 and syn-26 havin
g pyramidalized double bonds. The addition of benzyne to 21 and the additio
n of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 21, 22 and 23 gave the anti configu
ration products anti-26, 27 and 28: respectively. X-ray structures of syn-2
5, syn-26 and anti-26 show the pyramidalized angles to be 16.5 degrees, 19.
9 degrees and 8.0 degrees respectively.
