Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a series of 15 new, symmetric, 1,4-disubstituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl derivatives. Beyond detailing their syntheses and spectral properties, it describes the scope of synthetic transformations that can be effected at these neopentyl-like centers. The question of a possible direct displacement by hydride at such a site, as per an earlier literature report, is considered, and the limits of this and related substitution reactions are delineated. The scope of reactions at sp2centers attached to these positions is also defined.
