Hydride induced conversion of an ent-beyer-15-ene 12-p-tosylhydrazone into the novel ent-16S-atis-13-ene system
Abstract
The hydride induced shift of an ent-beyer-15-ene12-p-tosylhydrazone, a bicyclo[3,2,1]octene system, to the hitherto undescribed ent-16S-antis-13-ene, a bicyclo-[2,2,2]octene system, is discussed; the extreme unreactivity of the double bond in the product is reported.
