Abstract
2‐(tert‐Butyl)‐3,7‐dehydrotropone (7‐(tert‐butyl)bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta‐1(7),2,4‐trien‐6‐one; 1) was found to dimerize reversibly to 2A by [2 + 4]‐cycloaddition/cycloreversion reaction. The equilibrium lies on the side of the highly strained dimer 2A in the solid state, and on the side of the monomer 1 in solution. The [2 + 4]‐reaction is fully perisite‐, regio‐ and stereoselective. Above room temperature, 1 irreversibly formed a decarbonylated dimer 6, probably via the intermediate 9A or 9B, which resulted either from a dimerisation of 1 by [4 + 6]‐cycloaddition or from a sigmatropic rearrangement of the originally formed dimer 2A or 2B. Similary, the 6‐bromo derivative 14 afforded the corresponding decarbonylated dimer 15. Should the formation of 6 and 15 be due to a primary cycloaddition then that reaction is fully peri‐, site‐ and regioselective. Mild LiAlH~4~‐reduction of 6 and subsequent acetylation yielded the acetate 11, the structure of which was established by an X‐ray analysis. More vigorous LiAlH~4~‐treatment also reduced the terminal fulvenoid double bond of 6 and acetylation of the crude product led to the acetated 12 and 13.
