Abstract

The imine functionality of the 3-azatricyclo[5.3.1.04,9]undec-2-ene derivatives (3a-c) reacts with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to yield the lactam (5), the amino ester (6), and the oxopyrroline (7) respectively. Crystal structures of (6) [C31H34N2O5, Pca21, a 17.736(1), b 9.8412(4), c 15.584(1) Å , Z 4, R 0.032] and (7) [C33H36N2O6, Pca21, a 14.0610(8), b 9.6602(6), c 20.818(1) Å , Z 4, R 0.038] were determined. These widely differing modes of reaction result from the nature of the imine C2 substituent present in the starting material(3). Tentative mechanistic explanations are presented.
