Abstract

Abstract A new procedure was worked out for the isomerization of Binor S, the norbornadiene dimer (heptacyclo/8, 4, 0, 0 2, 12, 0 3, 8, 0 4, 6, 0 5, 9, 0 11, 13/tetradecane) with phosphorus pentoxide to obtain a mixture of hexacyclic olefins, viz. hexacyclo/8, 4, 0, 0 2, 7, 0 3, 14, 0 4, 8, 0 9, 13/tetradec-5-ene and hexacyclo/6, 6, 0, 0 2, 6, 0 5, 14, 0 7, 12, 0 9, 13/tetradec-3-ene, which serve as the starting material in the synthesis of triamantane.
