Abstract
A specifically labeled H derivative of 1-bromo-4-iodobicyclo[2.2.2]octane has been synthesized and reacted with (trimethylstannyl)lithium. A full product and H-label profile has been established by H, H, C, and Sn NMR spectroscopy, and the intermediacy of [2.2.2]propellane can be disregarded. The results, along with others for additional 1,4-dihalobicyclo[2.2.2]octanes, are best accommodated by a chain mechanism (involving radical anions and free radicals) somewhat akin to the S1 mechanism for electron-transfer initiated aliphatic and aromatic nucleophilic substitutions.
Trimethylstannylation of 1,4-dihalobicyclo[2.2.2]octanes involves a novel radical chain mechanism, involving radical anions and free radicals, rather than the intermediacy of [2.2.2]propellane.
