Autoassembling of the Quinuclidine Nucleus: One-Step Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Dimethyl 4-Hydroxy-6,6,7,7tetramethyl-. delta.2-dehydroquinuclidine-2,3-dicarboxylate.-Triacetonamine (I) reacts with the dicarboxylate (II) in aprotic solvents to give the title quinuclidine (III), while in MeOH the ordinary adduct (IV) is formed. The structure of the quinuclidine (III) is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Further reactions of (III) proceed preferentially at the less sterically hindered carboxy group. -(KOSTYANOVSKY, R.

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.
