✦ Synopsis
Several optically active substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones and their thiocarbonyl analogues have been synthesized, and their circular dichroism spectra studied. The crystal structure of thiolactam la showed that the bicyclic skeleton of the title compounds assumes a sofa-like geometry. It is postulated that the cyclopropyl moiety and amide or thioamide group constitute an inherently chiral chromophore, helicity of which determines the Cotton effect sign corresponding to the n-rr* electronic transition. The weak rr-rr* Cotton effect of thiolactams shows opposite sign to that observed for the lowest energy excitation. (~) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

As part of a study on additions to strained olefins and synthesis of strained nitrogen heterocycles, we have found that addition of methoxycsrbonylnitrene to 1,2dimethylcyclobutene, 2, and l-methylcyclobutene, 2, provides a convenient synthesis of the corresponding 5-azabicyclo[2.l.O]pentanes 2a and
The magnitudes of long-range interproton couplings through u bonds or a combination ofa and rrbonds are known in most cases to be geometrically dependent. 2 Although in some instances the correlation between long-range coupling constants and molecular geometry has not been precisely mapped,ze there
