Abstract
Abstract Five (trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanones [(trimethylsilyl)nonbornanones] have been synthesized. Three of these have been characterized unambiguously, and two, tentatively, by chemical and spectral methods. Addition of vinyltrichlorosilane to cyclopentadiene followed by reaction with methylmagnesium iodide yields a mixture of 5-(trimethylsilyl)norbornenes. Hydroboration, followed by chromic acid oxidation provided a mixture of the four 5- and 6-(trimethylsilyl)norbornan-2-ones. Reaction of exo-2,3-epoxy-5-(trimethylsilyl)norbornane with lithium aluminum hydride in N-methylmorpholine provided endo-5-(trimethylsilyl)norbornan-2-one and exo-2-(trimethylsilyl)norbornan-7-one.
