Abstract

Hexachloronorbornadiene forms a 1:1 adduct 3 with 5,6-bismethylenenorbornene, which, on reaction with 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorothiophene dioxide, yields by loss of SO2, cycloreversion and further cycloaddition two compounds shown by mass, C-13 NMR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy and a single-crystal X-ray structure determination to be the isomeric products of a rare type of specific diene-capture by perchlorothiophene dioxide; a rational explanation for this and other examples is proposed, and a further example of norbornene sp2 C pyramidalisation is disclosed.
