Abstract:The cis‐oxa‐ (13a‐d) and ‐aza‐σ‐bishomobenzene (13 e) derivatives have been synthesized; they are sufficiently stable to be isolated in pure form. On heating, 13a‐e are easily isomerized into the π‐bishomobenzene analogues 14a‐e, the processes 13 a ⇄ 14 a, 13 b ⇄ 14b and 13d ⇄ 14d being reversible. Some kinetic and thermodynamic data for these σ, π,bishomobenzene transformations are presented.
“…The preparation of cis-monohetero-bis-and -tris-homobenzene derivatives, ( I ) and (3), respectively, has been reported several times"]. These systems are not of the least preparative importance because of the o+x isomerization to (2) and (41, respectively.…”
by the formation of (11) and (12), the norcaradienediester (3c) which is not directly detectable can be trapped by diazomethane in the carbocyclic system (2c) $ (3c). However, it appears that addition of CH2N, to (3c) and to (11) occurs, even if not exclusively, in a manner with high selectivity trans to the cyclopropane ring. The cis-selectivity found for (3a), (3b), (4a), and ( 4 b ) must consequently be ascribed to a cis-directing effect of the hetero ring members"]. Carbocyclic cis-o-trishomobenzene derivatives thus seem to be inaccessible by the ( I ) -(6) route ['].The structures of the new compounds have been proved by subsequent reactions, elemental analyses and spectroscopic data (Table 1). The coupling constants determined shift could not be avoided; after hydrolysis of the ester mixture [a. 60% of (Zc) with ca. 30% of dimethyl cycloheptatriene-1,7-dicarhoxylate (Ze) and 8% of dimethyl cycloheptatriene-2,3-dicarboxylate (Zf)].
