Nechanistic aspects of thermal sigmatropic rearrangements in cycloheptatrienes have been studied extensively.2 In contrast, the synthetic potential of these isomerization reactions has been exploited only recently. For example, a facile entry to tricyclo[4.3.1.03g8]decane (protoadamantane) derivativ

β¦ Synopsis
In previous studies we have shown that the thermal rearrangement of appropriately substituded cycloheptatrienes and dihydrotropones provides a facile synthetic entry to new bridged polycyclic systems. For example, pyrolysis of 7-allyloxycycloheptatriene (lJ produces, in high yield, equal amounts of 2-protoadamantenone (3) and lo-protoadamantenone (i).' These tricyclics are [n2s + n4s] cycloaddition products derived from 2-allyl-2,3-dihydrotropone (a which is gen-\ 8

The title compounds were synthesized via CF2: addition to the respective methylenecyclopropanes. The hexafluorospiropentane thermally rearranges to 2,2,4,4-tetrafluoro-l-(difluoromethyiene)cyclobutane in competition with CF2: extrusion, whereas perfluorospiropentane decomposes exclusively by CF2: e
4βMethylβ1,2,5βhexatriene (13) has been prepared and subjected to gasβphase pyrolysis. Above 220Β°C, 13 rearranges reversibly to both __trans__β5βheptenβ1βyne (14) and its __cis__βisomer 15. Formation of 14 is faster than that of 15. These isomerisations are accompanied by a slower irreversible rearr
