4-Vinyltricyclo[6,2,1,0]undec-9-ene: a minor adduct from the Diels–Alder reaction of 4-vinylcyclohexene and cyclopentadiene
Abstract
The endocyclic double bond of 4-vinylcyclohexene can act as dienophile towards cyclopentadiene at 240°. 4-Vinyltricyclo[6,2,1,0]undec-9-ene (II)(ca. 5%) is formed together with the known 5-cyclohex-3-enyl-bicyclo[2,2,1]hept-2-ene (I).
