Observation of a new rearrangement pathway in the silver(I) catalysed bond reorganization of cubyl-caged systems. A caveat on the generality of the homocubane → norsnoutane rearrangement
Abstract
A new rearrangement of the homocubane framework to pentacyclo[4.3.0.02,9.03,8.05,7] nonane system spearheaded by the electronic effect of the substituent is described.
