Abstract
Pyrolysis of trans-13-p-nitrobenzoyl-13-azabicyclo[10.1.0]tridecane (3) in toluene at 110° gave a mixture of trans-N-(2-oyolododeoenyl)-p-nitrobenzamide (6) and cis-N-(2-oyolododecenyl)-p-nitrobenzamide (5) in a ratio of 2:1. Pyrolysis of cis-13-p-nitrobenzoyl-13-azabieyclo[10.1.0]tridecane (4) in xylene at 140° gave a mixture of 6 and trans-2-p-nitrophenylcyclododecano[4,5-d]oxazoline (7) in a ratio of 7:1. Reaction of 4 with sodium iodide in acetone gave cis-2-p-nitrophenylcyclododecano[4,5-d]oxazoline (12). The formation of these products was rationalized in terms of the probable conformations of 3 and 4 and their respective transition states as deduced from the reported conformations of the corresponding aziridinium methiodides found by X-ray studies.
