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.

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.

The behavior of the endo and exo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltricyclo[3.2.2.02,4]nonan-6-one (9, 17) under strongly basic conditions (t-BuO−/t-BuOH/185 °C) has been examined. In both cases rearrangement to the corresponding 8,8-dimethyl-tricyclo[4.2.1.02,4]nonan-7-one (11, 18) was found, with the exo isomer reacting approximately 8 times faster. Experiments in tert-butyl alcohol-O-d1 were carried out to determine the specific sites, the relative rates, and the stereochemistry of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones. Although H/D exchange occurs most readily at the cyclopropyl methylene carbon in the endo isomer, none of the rearrangement product expected to arise via γ-enolate formation was observed. The results for these ketones are compared with our earlier observations in the related [2.2.2], [3.2.1.0], and [3.3.1.0] systems. Keywords: homoenolization, tricyclic ketones, H/D exchange.

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 13C n.m.r. parameters for thirteen di- and trimethylplatinum(IV) derivatives have been obtained. It is shown that the 13C shieldings and 1JPtC and 2JPtCH values of methyl groups both cis and trans to varied ligands consistently follow trends similar to those found for related methylplatinum(II) derivatives.
