The addition of benzylamine was effected by warming 6 with an excess of the amine at 140" until completion of the reaction (TLC). The reaction was highly stereoselective, leading to the near exclusive formation of trans-S, N products 7, even in the presence of an exo 2-methyl gr~ up.~.'~ This results probably from an endo delivery of a proton by the attacking amine molecule, which is itself being added from the endo side of the bicyclobutane m~ lecule.'~ ...
