Abstract

Tributyltin hydride reduction of 2-bromo-and 2-keto-bicyclo [2.2. 1] heptan-3-spiro-2′- oxiranes gives ring opening of the oxirane-rings via intermediate 3-(spiro-2′-oxiranyl) bicyclo [2.2. 1] heptan-2-yl radicals, whereas reduction of the analogous 2-(thiocarbonyl) imidazolides)[2-(O-CS-Im)] unusually yields the 2-methoxy derivatives and does not proceed by the expected normal fragmentation to yield 3-(spiro-2′-oxiranyl) bicyclo [2.2. 1] heptan ...
