Abstract

Highly substituted bicyclo [3.2. 1] octadiene building blocks are easily prepared from tetrachloro-or tetrabromocyclopropene through reaction with cyclic dienes. These polyhalogenated derivatives can serve as precursors to a variety of functionalized bridged bicyclic compounds. Herein, we report on the generation and reaction of electrophilic species with silver ion.
