โฆ Synopsis
Synthesis and Structure Elucidation of 8-Methyl-and 9-Methylexo-2-carbomethoxy-endo-tricyclo(5.2.1.02,6)deca-3,8-dien-5-ones. -The unseparable mixture of 1-and 2-methyl-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalenediones (I) and (II), resp., obtained by thermal cracking of methylcyclopentadiene dimer and trapping of the formed methylcyclopentadienes with p-benzoquinone, is chemically transformed into separable methyl-substituted tricyclodecadienones (VI)-(VIII) (no yields given). The structure and stereochemistry of the title compounds (VII) and (VIII) is elucidated by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations.
