Some aspects of the chemistry of benzobicyclo systems

The rearrangement reactions of 1-methoxybenzobicyclo-[2,2,2]-octatriene derivatives in strong acid have been studied. In particular 1-methoxytetrafluoro-, 1-methoxytetrachloro-, and 1-methoxybenzobarrelene have been prepared labelled with 14C at C-4. Rearrangement of these compounds, in strong acid,...
