Lewis acid-induced rearrangment of α-[bis(methylthio)methylene]ethyl-2-styrylcyclopropylcarbinols: unexpected formation of a novel bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene framework

Abstract

The α-[bis(methylthio)methylene]ethyl-2-styrylcyclopropylcarbinols 9a–c undergo a simple but unexpected skeletal rearrangement in the presence of stannic chloride in nitromethane to afford bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene derivatives 10a–c exclusively in good yields. The structure of 10a was conclusively elucidated by X-ray diffraction studies. A possible mechanism governing the formation of 10 is proposed.
