Via reduction of benzvalene (1) with diirnine tricyclo[3.1.0.02•6]hexane is obtained in good yield. The procedure renders 3, which has already been synthesized by Lemal and Shim, accessible much easier and in larger quantities. IH and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopic data are discussed. Both the thermal and the AgBF4-catalyzed rearrangernent of 3 yield 1,3-cyclohexadiene (8). - The ozonolysis of 1 with subsequent LiAIH4-reduction results in cis-I,3- bis(hydroxyrnethyl)cyclobutane (13a).
Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate (5) with benzvalene (4), norbornene, and norbornadiene afforded the azo compounds 7 and 8. Theseare derivatives of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene as is azo compound 3, which had been obtained previously from 5 and 2 equiv of benzvalene (4). The photochemical extrusion of nitrogen from 3, 7, and 8 has been studied. Whereas 7 and 8 on direct irradiation in benzene gave rise exclusively to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane derivatives 9 and 10, respectively, from 3 in addition to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane 11, the diolefin 1l was formed. Diolefin 12 has cisdouble bonds in the nine-membered ring and is fixed in a boat conformation in a manner so that the two bicyclobutane systems approach each other very closely. This geometry suggests the unusual ring opening of the intermediate 1,4-cyclohexanediyl diradical from a boat conformation, which arises by inversion of the primarily generated boat conformation. Sensitized photolysis of 3 as weilasthat of ll produced the saturated isomer 13 of 11 and 12. The proximity of the bicyclobutane systems in 1l causes unprecedented reactions leading to cage compounds. When ll was heated at 90 °C, a rearrangement to the pentacyclic product 10 took place. Utilization of tetradeuteriated substrate ll-d4 supported a pathway with two diradical intermediates. Behaving in a convcntional manncr, bicyclobutane 9 and bis(bicyclobutane) 11 took up 1 and 2 equiv of thiophenol most probably in a radical-chain addition to give the thioethers 28 and 19, respectively. In contrast, bis(bicyclobutane) ll was converted by 1 equiv of thiophenol into cagc compound 30 in a process involving both the strained a systems. Heating at 80 °C subjected 30 to a reversible Copc rearrangement, resulting in a 6:1 mixture of 31 and 30. When it was treated with bromine, 11 was transformed to cage compound 38. This addition is believed to proceed via a cationic intermediate. The structure of cage compound 10 was established by a singlc-crystal X-ray analysis of dialcohol 11 prepared from 20 and methyllithium.
Carbon-13 shieldings and one-bond \(^{13}\)C-H coupling constants of bicydo[2.1.1]hexane, bicydo[2.l.l]hex- 2-ene, tricydo[3.1.1.0\(^{2.4}\)]heptane and benzvalene are presented and compared. to the data of related. compounds. H a bicydo[3.1.0]hexane system is part of a rigid skeleton, the cydopropane ring exerts spedfk: 'Y substituent eflects of two ldnds. In the case of the bicyclobexane boat form an upfield shift of the C-3 signal is observed and in tbe esse of the chair form a downfield shift of 15-20 ppm. Compared to the corresponding cydopentanes the double bond in strained cydopentenes causes downfield shifts of the C-4 absorption. 1bis eftect increases witb increasing strain, reaching 8 45.9 ppm maximum in benzvalene. Hence it is tbe only known bicydo[l.l.O]butane baving 8 reversed order of carbon shieldings. The downfield shifts are e:xplained by means of simple orbital interaction schemes.
By means of the BC NMR spectra of tricyclo{2.2.0~rfJ6Jhexane and thirteen of its derivatives the effects of substituents in endo-3- and endo-5-positions on the HC chemical shifts have been determined. The y-anti effects are at least as Jarge as in monosubstituted cyc1obutanes, where the shielding values of second-row hetero substituents exceed those in unstrained systems by far, and higher-row and carbon substituents still cause substantial upfield shifts. In the title system the y-anti effect of a substituent in the endo-3- and endo-5-position are operative additively, and thus shift the absorption of C-J upfieJd by a maximum of 27 ppm with respect to the unsubstituted hydrocarbon.
The 130 chemical shifts were determined of the carbons in 12 cycloheptanes, 21 cycloheptanols, and 8 cycloheptanones. In some cyc1oheptanols and cyc1oheptanones, the assignments have been obtained unambiguously by the synthesis of deuterated derivatives and the use of paramagnetic-shift reagents. Substituent effects for the different types of groups have been calculated. The most informative data about the cyc10heptane conformations were provided by the relatively well understood I' effects. The results are generally in,good agreement with predictions based on the twist-chair form, which has been predicted by Hendrickson to be the most stable conformation. Pairs of cis-trans isomers are found to have rather characteristic differences in their 130 spectra. This fact was used to assign the resonances found for cis-trans mixtures of methyl-substituted cyc1oheptanols to specific isomers.
