✦ Synopsis


TheX -ray crystal structure of 3-oxnbicyclo[53.Il&ca-I(1O).7(8)-(zz)-diene-IO-carboxylic acid, a highly strained bridgehead diem?, is reported.

Bridgehead alkenes (1) comprise a subclass of trarrscycloallcenes ( 2), compounds that contain a distorted carbon-carbon double bond.' The magnitude of the distortion increases as the trans-cycloalkene ring size decreases. Despite considerable theoretical interest in these compounds,* there are few structural studies documenting the geometric distortions. 334 We report the X-ray crystal structure of bridgehead diene 3. a compound containing two distorted bridgehead double bonds. Compound 3 constitutes the most highly strained
