Abstract

Abstract The Wolff− Kishner reduction of strained cyclopropyl ketones 9-oxo-2, 8- didehydronoradamantane (1) and 5-oxo-2, 4-didehydrobrendane (5) proceeds without rearrangement, while the borane-mediated reduction of the corresponding tosylhydrazones 1a and 5a affords the rearranged products tricyclo [4.2. 1.0 3, 8] non-4-ene (3) and 4- brendene (7), respectively. Rearrangement also occurs during the reduction of the less- ...
