Abstract

Abstract: A rational synthesis of 5-substituted bicyclo [2.1. O] pentanes was developed from the Diels-Alder adduct of 6, 6-dimethylfulvene and dimethyl azodicarboxylate. Kinetic investigations indicate enormous reactivity for derivatives of endo-bicycl0 [2.1. O] pentan-5- ol, and a mechanism for solvolysis of the exo-p-nitrobenzoate, which proceeds via the corresponding endo isomer, is outlined
