Reaction of cis-bicyclo(4. 3. 0)nona-3,7-diene with iodine. Synthesis of tricyclo(4. 3. 0. 0/sup 3,7/)nona-4,8-diene (brexa-4,8-diene)

The reaction of iodine with cis-bicyclo(4.3.0)nona-3,7-diene is accompanied by regioselective and stereoselective transannular cyclization with the formation of endo-4,exo-8-diiodobrexane. Methods were developed for the production of endo-9-iodobrex-4-ene and brexa-4,8-diene with yields of 26 and 20% respectively. The mechanism of transannular cyclization is discussed.
