Abstract

Three series of regioisomeric bisadducts of C, namely, C (anisyl) and the mixed systems C(anisyl) -(COOEt) and C(COOEt)(NCOOEt), were synthesized starting from the 1,2-monoadducts C(COOEt) (1), C-(anisyl) (2), and C (NCOOEt) (4) by using the Bingel and Bamford-Stevens reactions, and nitrene additions. In the case of C(COOEt)(NCOOEt) the complete series of nine possible regioisomers were isolated for the first time. For steric reasons the cis-1 isomers of C(anisyl) and C(anisyl)(COOEt) were not formed. The transannular [6,6] bonds in the cis-1 isomer 42 of C(COOEt) (NCOOEt) are closed. The properties and regioselectivities of formation of these bisadducts and their monoadduct precursors were compared with those of the series C-(COOEt) and C (NCOOEt), which we synthesized previously. In the additions to 1, 2, and 4 the preferred positions of attack are e and trans-3 for sterically demanding addends (e.g., combinations of C(anisyl) and C(COOEt)) and cis-1, e, and trans-3 for sterically less demanding addends (e.g., combinations of N(COOEt) and C(COOEt)). A detailed analysis of the MO structures, the experimental and calculated geometries of monoadduct precursors, and the stabilities of reaction products leads to the conclusion that the addend-independent cage distortion itself is responsible for the observed regioselectivities of bisadduct formations. © VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, 1996.
