Studies on bicyclononanes. Part VII. Reactions of (1-bicyclo[3,3,1]-nonyl)methyl and related ions
Abstract
The solvolyses of esters of 1-hydroxymethylbicyclononane, 5-hydroxymethylmethylenecyclo-octane, and 1-methyl-5-hydroxymethylcyclo-octene are described, together with the deaminations of the corresponding amines. The occurrence of 1,3-hydride shifts is reported, and the implications of the results, as regards the π-route to bicyclic molecules, are discussed.
