Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Addition of positive bromine compounds to the title olefins was carried out with use of N-bromosuccinimide–water and t-butyl hypobromite and the results are compared with the case of bromine addition. In the case of the ap-isomer, the reactions reported here all produce bromo-olefins in addition to an addition product, in contrast to the case of bromine which gives only an addition product. The sp-isomer afforded the same products as was observed for the bromine-addition but with different proportions of the products. The anionic species of more proton affinity and consequently of less affinity toward carbocations caused a decrease in formation of the addition product and an increase in formation of bromo-olefins in the case of the ap-isomer. The ratios of products, bromo-olefins to a cyclized compound, were affected by the anionic species in the case of sp-isomer: Both N-bromosuccinimide–water and t-butyl hypobromite yielded about the same amounts of the two olefins, but the yields of the cyclized compound varied significantly. The results are not explained in a straightforward manner. Probably solvent effects are important. In addition, the reaction of the sp-form with N-bromosuccinimide in tetrahydrofuran-water afforded (7R*,7aS*,12bS*)-7-bromomethyl-8-[(E)-bromomethylene]-7-methyl-7a-[(Z)-3-oxo-1-propenyl]-7,7a,8,12b-tetrahydrobenzo[5,6]pentaleno[1,2-a]naphthalene, a compound which is derived by cleavage of a benzene ring. The structural features of the last compound are also discussed.</jats:p>
