Descrição
Resumo:Octacyclo[10.6.1.01,10.03,7.04,9.08,19.011,16.013,17]-nonadeca-5,8,14-triene (27), a hindered pyramidalized alkene, has been generated from a diiodide precursor. Contrary to the usual behavior of known pyramidalized alkenes, no Diels−Alder adducts were obtained from the present alkene when it was generated by different standard procedures in the presence of different dienes. However, products derived from the reduction, t-BuLi addition, condensation with the solvent, or dimerization were isolated from these reactions, depending on the conditions used to generate it. No [2 + 2] cross product among this pyramidalized alkene and tricyclo[3.3.1.03,7]non-3(7)-ene was formed when a mixture of the corresponding precursor diiodides was reacted with sodium amalgam. The analysis of selected geometrical and orbital parameters determined from quantum mechanical calculations indicates that the degree of pyramidalization of this alkene and its higher steric hindrance compared with other polycyclic pyramidalized alkenes may explain its peculiar reactivity.
