Spontaneous Formation of Strained Anti-Bredt Bridgehead Alkenes upon Computational GeometryOptimization of Bicyclic β-Halo Carbanions

Gary W. Breton & Jazmine V. Ridlehoover · Organics · 2024

Bridgehead alkenes are polycyclic molecules bearing at least one C=C bond that includes a bridgehead carbon atom. For small bicyclic systems, these bonds are highly strained due to geometric constraints placed on the sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. These small, strained molecules ha...

[1.1.1]Propellane, a compound whose structure includes two saturated carbons in which all four bonds are directed into a single hemisphere, is of theoretical interest, but has also seen recent practical applications. Mono-, di-, and trisubstituted derivatives of this propellane (...
