REARRANGEMENT APPROACHES TO CYCLIC SKELETONS .12. ACID-CATALYZED ISOMERIZATION OF BICYCLO[3.2.1]OCT-6-EN-2-ONES INTO BICYCLO[3.2.1]OCT-3-EN-2-ONES WITHOUT RACEMIZATION
T. Uyehara et al., REARRANGEMENT APPROACHES TO CYCLIC SKELETONS .12. ACID-CATALYZED ISOMERIZATION OF BICYCLO[3.2.1]OCT-6-EN-2-ONES INTO BICYCLO[3.2.1]OCT-3-EN-2-ONES WITHOUT RACEMIZATION, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 70(8), 1997, pp. 1919-1921
The treatment of a bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-2-one (3) with Amberlyst(R)
(H-15) in boiling benzene gave a mixture of bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-o
ne (5) and bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one (6). The ratio of 5 to 6 was i
nfluenced by the substituent at the C-1 position of the ketone 3. Chir
al ketones 3 were transformed into the chiral alpha,beta-unsaturated k
etones 5 without racemization.
