Özet

The strained system syn-1 was the object of synthetic and structural studies because of its double bond pyramidalization. The starting material, cis-3, 8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene, was synthesized by two different approaches. Addition of ethyl diazoacetate then gave syn-addition product 2. Transesterification and NBS-bromination followed by Zn-AcOH elimination resulted in the formation of cis-dihydroheptalene 5, which was also synthesized by silica gel catalyzed isomerization of the trans-5 isomer. Addition of benzyne to cis-5 gave the target compound syn-1, whose structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction. These data show its pyramidalization angle to be 16.8 degrees.
