Abstract :
Tricyclodecenone exo- and endo-epoxides 1 and 9 underwent an unexpected isomerization to oxa-pentacycloundecanones 2 and 10, respectively, under flash vacuum thermolysis conditions using various solid acid catalysts. The structure of a derivative of 2 (R=CO2Et) has been elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis. A tentative mechanism for the formation of 2 from 1 is proposed.
