Abstract

The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of aliphatic substrates to give fused-ring products is well documented. 2, 3 This method also provides an attractive synthetic route to bicyclic derivatives characterized by differentiated functionality in two bridge^.^ An investigation of the Lewis acid catalyzed cyclization of 3-cyclohexen-1-acetyl chloride (1) and its 4-methyl analog 2 was undertaken to evaluate further this approach to functionalized bicyclooctane ...
