A novel rearrangement of hetisine, and X-ray crystal structure of the major product: transformation of a dihydroxy-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane system to an adamantane-type skeleton
Abstract
Treatment of hetisine with acid leads to two unusual rearrangement products, (3) and (4), via a unique transformation of a dihydroxy-bicyclo [2.2.2]octanee system to an adamantane-type skelleton; the structure of (3) has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
