Di-isophorone and related compounds. Part 26. Reactions of bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane-7-spiro-2′-(tetrahydrofuran) derivatives
Abstract
A number of interconversions of compounds of the bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane-7-spiro-2′-(tetrahydrofuran) ring system, comprising reduction, oxidation, and Grignard reactions, confirm the structural and conformational stability of this carbon skeleton. Representative compounds undergo scission under electron impact according to a common fragmentation pattern.
