Abstract

Reaction of bicyclo[3.2.2] tertiary alcohols 7b,c and 23b with Fe2(CO)9, resulted in the corresponding dienyl Fe(CO)3 complexes, which upon HBF4/Ac2O treatment yielded the bicyclo [3.2.2] dienyl irontricarbonyl cations. Nucleophilic addition of CN- to those cations, resulted in the formation of δ,μ-bonded complexes, which were degraded with Me3NO to give substituted tricydic hydrocarbons (barbaralyl systems) in unusual positions. For purpose of comparison, the trifluoroacetolysis of 2-methyl-endo-6,7-benzobicyclo[3.2.2] nonatriene (22) has been studied.
