2006 Bridged compounds Q 0060 Experimental and Theroretical Studies on the Transannular Cyclizations of 3,7-Dimethylenebicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with Polyfluoroalkyl Radicals. -The title reaction leads selectively to noradamantanes, e.g. (III), which are used for the preparation of polyfluoroalkyl-substituted derivatives such as (V), (VII), and (VIII). Computational studies show that the exclusive formation of noradamantanes is explained by the high electrophilicity of the CF3 radical and the efficient trapping of intermediate noradamantylmethyl radicals by perfluoroiodoalkane. -(PONOMARENKO, M.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
