โฆ Synopsis
We have previously postulated (1,2) the rearrangement of a-6ethylbicyclo[3.l.O]hexanesemidione to the anti isomer.
We have now found that the w-6-methyl semidione is much more stable and that isomerization to the anti isomer can be followed by esr spectroscopy. The rearrangement with R = methyl proceeds to completion in dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of potassium A-butoxide in 3 hrs, whereas the rearrangement of the w-ethyl compound occurs in 1 min under similar conditions.
The steric driving force is emphasized by the observation that the G-6-deuterium compound does not show the rearrangement.
