A serendipitous, high yield conversion of norbornenone to tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octan-4-one

Abstract: Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation of the trimethylsilyl enol ether of norbornenone has been found to generate the 2-trimethylsilyl ether of homoquadricyclene, homoketonization of which affords the symmetrical tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octan-4-one regiospecifically with high stereoselectivity favoring inversion of configuration.

“…As an alternative to our earlier route, we reasoned hydroxyketone 10 could be obtained from 12 via C–H oxidation of the methyl proximal to the carbonyl (Scheme ). Inspired by the work of Ragauskas and Stothers, we envisioned synthesizing the tricyclic scaffold via cyclo­propanation/homoquadri­cyclane rearrangement cascade followed by cyclopropane opening . The enantioenriched norbornenone derivative needed for this transformation could be obtained via diastereoselective Diels–Alder cycloaddition of substituted cyclopentadiene with an optically active dienophile.…”

“…Under the reaction conditions, 14 underwent homoquadri­cyclane rearrangement to give dicyclopropane 19 (Scheme ). Cleavage of the silyl ether in 19 with methanolic n -Bu 4 NOH led to formation of ketone 12 , which was converted in situ to the corresponding oxime 20 by addition of O -methyl­hydroxyl­amine hydrochloride to the reaction mixture. Triggered by the work of Sanford and co-workers, the oxime was treated with 15 mol % Pd­(OAc) 2 and 2 equiv PhI­(OAc) 2 in AcOH–Ac 2 O at 90 °C to effect C–H acetoxylation.…”

“…The I3C spectrum contained three methylene signals (6c 5.4, 9.9, 32. l), five methine peaks (20.6, 22.1, 28.3, 3 1 .O, 39.6), two quaternary signals (23.1, 69.6), and trimethylsilyl absorption at zc 1.1. On comparison with the results for 4, these data are consistent with the expected homoquadricyclene structure.…”
