E.s.r observation of radicals derived from 9-bromtricyclo2,8>nona-3,6-diene, and related compounds, showed that they rearrange by β-scission to bicyclonona-2,6,8-trienyl radicals extremly rapidly; the latter radicals have hyperfine splittings similar to those of allyl radicals. 9-Deuterio- and 2-deuterio-9-bromotricyclo2,8>nona-3,6-diene were reduced with tributyltin hydride.The pattern of deuterium scrambling in the bicyclonona-2,6,8-triene and tricyclo2,8>nona-3,6-diene products showed that the intermediate radicals take part in a degenerate rearrangement sequence which makes them fully fluxional in three dimensions.The two radicals are in equilibrium at ca. 375 K, but the bicyclotrienyl species is more important by a factor of ca. 102.Neither the experimental results nor MNDO semiempirical calculations provided any evidence of additional thermodynamic stabilisation in the radical pair beyond that expected for allyl delocalisation.
Novel Two-Step Synthesis of Homobarrelenones, Bicyclonona-3,6,8-trien-2-ones, from Tropones and 2,3-Bis(methoxycarbonyl)-7-oxabicyclohepta-diene by High-Pressure Cycloaddition-Thermal Cyclorevision Procedure

The Diels-Alder adduct of tropone with 2,3-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-7-oxabicyclohepta-2,5-diene formed homobarrelenone by heating at ca. 130 deg C.Similarly prepared were 1-hydroxy-, 3-methoxy-, 1-chloro-, and 3-chlorohomobarrelenones.High-pressure cycloaddition improved the yields of the Diels-Alder adducts.
