Abstract
Base-promoted reaction of 11-methylenepentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05, 9]undecan-8-one (5) with diethyl diazomethylphosphonate when performed in the presence of excess cyclohexene, resulted in the formation of the corresponding cycloalkylidenecarbene, 6, which subsequently was trapped in situ to afford 8-methylene-11-(7′-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptylidene)pentacyclo-[5.4.0.02, 6.03, 10.05, 9]undecane (7, obtained in 44% yield as a mixture of exo, endo isomers). Subsequent reaction of 7 with dichlorocarbene (generated under phase transfer catalytic conditions) produced the corresponding mono- and di-:CCl2 adducts [i.e., 8 (64% yield) and 9 (5% yield), respectively]. The structure of 9 was established unequivocally via application of single crystal X-ray analysis: Triclinic, P1¯, a = 6.276(2), b = 8.700(2), c = 18.550(3) A, α = 76.52(3), β = 87.59(3), γ = 70.88(4)° Z = 2; D calc 1.486 g cm−3.
