Studies on bicyclononanes. Part III. Chair–boat equilibria in bicyclo[3,3,1]nonanes
Abstract
The preparation and configurational assignments of the epimeric 3-carboxybicyclo[3,3,1]nonanes are described, and the free energy difference between their methyl esters is measured. The bromination products of bicyclononan-2-one are discussed, and the deamination of a boat cyclohexylamine is reported.
