The effect of strongly basic conditions (t-BuO−/t-BuOH/185 °C) on the exo and endo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltri-cyclo[3.2.1.02.4]octan-6-one has been examined. While the exo isomer is stable, the endo isomer readily rearranges to 4,4-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.0.02.8]octan-3-one (6) which subsequently undergoes reduction of the three-membered ring. The initial transformation is one of very few examples of γ-enolate rearrangement. Experiments in tert-buiyl alcohol-O-d1 were carried out to establish the several sites of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones and in 6 using 2Hmr. These results reveal the stereochemistry of γ-enolate formation and cleavage as well as the stereoselectivities and relative rates of the exchange processes.

Deuterium exchange occurs at five β positions in fenchone under homoenolization conditions (t-BuO−–t-BuOD, 185°), C-6(exo and endo), C-8, C-9, and C-10. Both13C and 2H n.m.r. methods were employed to monitor deuterium incorporation and the particular advantages of the latter are illustrated. The relative rates of the five exchange processes were determined directly by 2H n.m.r. in contrast to the earlier homoenolization studies for which the stereoselectivity of exchange was established indirectly. The intermediate homoenolate ion can lead to rearrangement and the rearrangement products have been characterized by 13C n.m.r. as the 3,3,6-trimethyl-norcamphors. Homoenolization of this mixture gave further evidence on the stereochemistry of homoenolate formation.

The behavior of the exo and endo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.1.02,4]nonan-6-one (5, 6) under strongly basic conditions (t-BuOH/t-BuOH/185 °C) has been examined. In sharp contrast to their [3.2.1.02,4] analogs, the endo isomer is stable while the exo readily rearranges to 8,8-dimethyltricyclo-[4.3.0.02,4]nonan-7-one (16). Experiments were carried out in tert-butyl alcohol-O-d1 to establish the sites of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones as well as the relative rates and stereoselectivities of the exchange processes. Ketones 5 and 6 were prepared through ring expansion by ketonization of cyclopropoxides generated from the [3.2.1.0] homologs; the stereochemistry of these ketonizations was established by 2H labelling.

A detailed study of the reactions of the acetone•BF3 complex in excess acetone has been carried out by "F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy. It is shown that rapid reversible fluorine exchange processes occur in solution, in addition to the slower aldol condensation–dehydration reaction. Two of the new 19F absorptions which appear during the reaction are shown to arise from BF3 complexes of donors which are formed by condensation and dehydration of acetone. The rate of the aldol condensation reaction is shown to fall off markedly as an increasing proportion of the BF3 becomes complexed with water; thus BF3 catalysis of the reaction appears to depend on the existence of a ketone–BF3 donor–acceptor bond. 1H and 19F n.m.r. studies of the acetone•BF3 complex in methylene chloride throw some light on the apparent greatly decreased reactivity of the complex in this solvent. Evidence is presented for the reversibility of the first step of the condensation reaction.

The 13Cmr spectra of several cholestanes including 13 A-homo-B-nor derivatives, 11 A-homo derivatives, and 8 B-nor examples have been examined. In addition the 13C data for a few of the corresponding androstanes and 16 precursors in the cholestane series are reported. Examples in both the 5α- and 5β-cholestane families were included. These results represent the first systematic examination of the 13C spectra of A-homo-B-nor steroids and should be useful for the characterization of other members in each series. These data also permit some tentative conclusions regarding the favored conformation for the seven-membered ring in the A-homo derivatives.

The bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one and -[3.2.1]octan-6-one skeletons are interconvertible under strongly basic conditions. Their α,α-dimethyl derivatives in tert-Buo−/tert-BuOH at 185 °C undergo very slow interconversion by β-proton abstraction. Using 2H nmr the stereoselectivity of deuterium incorporation at the β-methylene sites was established. The relative reactivities of β-methyl exchange in the [3.2.1] system were also determined. As models for this process, exchange in the α,α,α′,α′-tetramethyl derivatives of the monocyclic ketones, C5–C8, was also studied.
