β¦ Synopsis
Ah&m&: 5,6-Dlhaloblcyclo[2.l.l]hexanes resist simple nucleophlllc displacement In several ways. Least expected of these is the 2+1 rearrangement The energy needed to assemble Z-oxablcyclo[3.2.O]heptadlenes 1s normally supplied by photons.
1 An alternatzve source, the strain energy of a precursor, was once used to prepare the hexamethyl derivative, but only lnefflclently (16%) and at a high temperature (190") 2 We now report a novel rearrangement that enables precursor strain to provide the 3-cyano derivative (1) 3

Several kinetic schemes have been discussed for the thermal reorganization of bicyclo[2.2.llheptadiene to cycloheptatriene and toluene (1). In
The total synthesis of (\*)-methyl 3-(3-isocyano-6-oxabicyclo[3.l.O]hex-2-en-5-y1)-2-propenoate has been achieved using 3-tosyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.l]hepta-2,5-diene as a key starting material.
The geometry and the n-electronic structure of 6,7-dimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.O]hepta-l,4,6triene (4) is analyzed by M N D O calculations and by the interpretation of the He-I-photoelectron spectrum. The calculated bond length alternations in 4 indicate olefinic resp. antiaromatic character. As H O M
