| Research Abstract |
1. Development of Nobel Ring-Expansion Reaction--Previously, we found a nobel ring-expansion of bridgehead aldehydes to 1,2-diol monobenzoates by use of benzoyl triflate. In this work, the method was applied to the bridgehead aldehydes of bicyclo [3.2.1] octyl, bicyclo[3.3.1] nonyl, and bicyclo[3.2.2] nonyl systems, and various new bicyclic 1,2-diols were successfully obtained. It was also demonstrated that the ring-expansion could be applied to the syntheses of bicyclic 1,2-diols labeled with ^2H or ^<13>C at the 2-position, 1-chlorobicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one, and various 3- alkyl(or aryl)-4-homoadamantanones.
2. Allylic Conjugation of 2-Methylene Bridgehead Carbocations--The logarithms of the rates of solvolysis of 2-methylene bridgehead compounds relative to the corresponding parent compounds were found to sigmoidally correlate with olefinic strain of the corresponding bridgehead olefins. The results, combined with our previous results on the rates of solvolysis of 2-oxo derivatives, showed that the delocalization of the positive charge of a 2-oxo carbocation to the carbonyl oxygen would be negligibly small. The methodology will be applied to the examination of the delocalization of positive charge to the imino or thiocarbonyl heteroatom.
3. Through-Bond Interaction in 3-Oxo Carbocations--The rates of solvolysis of 3-oxobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-l-yl derivatives were found 10^3 greater than expected from the inductive electron withdrawing effect of the carbonyl group. The rate and product studies demonstrated that the positive charge delocalizes to the carbonyl oxygen via through-bond interaction.
