Abstract
The addition of difluorocarbene to bicyclo[2.2.2]octaβ2,5βdiene gave the exo and endo 1:1 cyclopropane adducts. In contrast to norbornadiene, no homoβ1,4 adduct was formed. The adducts were thermally stable under the conditions of their formation and separation (<170Β°). However, smooth equilibration was achieved on heating at 250Β° for 36 h. The same mixture resulted from either isomer. At 250Β° ΞΞ__G__ = 1.83 kcal/mol; the endo isomer being the more stable. Heating to higher temperatures caused decomposition, rather than further reaction to the intramolecular [2+2]cyclization products. The kinetic and thermodynamic product compositions were essentially the same on extrapolating to the same temperature, viz. endo/exo = 19β22 at 25Β°. The mechanisms by which the cycloβaddition and the stereomutation of the cisβfused cyclopropane moiety occur are discussed.

## Abstract The tricyclic lactams 4aβh, possessing a bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene moiety, obtained by intramolecular DielsβAlder reaction of the vinylidene malondiamides 1aβh, generally isomerize in boiling xylene to give the new lactams 7aβh, now bearing a bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene part. The difference i
