The (R,S)-aminal 3 , prepared from glycine methyl ester hydrochloride, methylamine, and pivalaldehyde,l'"l was treated with 14 chiral carboxylic or sulfonic acids. In two cases one of the two possible diastereomeric salts crystallized selectively: the salt from ( -)-2,3 :4,6-di-O-isopropylidene-2-ketogulonic acid [( -)-diacetone-2-ketogulonic acid] and ( S ) -3 , and that from (S)-( -)-mandelic acid and ( R ) -3 . For preparative resolution a single crystallization with mandelic acid gave enough enrichment so that N-benzoylation and recrystallization of 2 produced the two enantiomers with greater than 98% ee. Mandelic acid is recovered in 95% yield without detectable racemization.I "] This work was supported by the Minister fur Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen and by the Fond der Chemischen Industrie.

Eine bemerkenswerte Druckabhängigkeit zeigt die Reaktion von 11‐Methylen‐1,6‐methano[10]annulen mit Dicyanacetylen. Bei Normaldruck erhält man das 1:1‐Addukt 1a/1b, ein fluktuierendes System, bei dem sich erstmals eine Methylennorcaradien‐Heptafulven‐Valenztautomerie beobachten ließ. Bei 7000 bar bildet sich das 2:1‐Addukt 2 als Hauptprodukt. 2 muß trotz ungünstiger Geometrie durch [8+2]‐Cycloaddition von Dicyanacetylen an 1b entstanden sein.
The addition of dicyanoacetylene (II) to the methanoannulene (I) leads, under normal pressure in pentane zu 60°C, to a crystalline Diels‐Alder adduct (yield 3‐4%) which exists in solution as two valence tautomers [the methylenenorcaradiene‐heptafulvene system (III)/(IV)].
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.
