Amidation of deltacyclene and hexacyclic norbornadiene dimers with acetonitrile and water catalyzed by FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O

摘要

FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O-catalyzed Ritter amidation of deltacyclene and hexacyclic norbornadiene dimers containing both a double bond and a three-carbon ring in the molecule with acetonitrile and water was performed. Depending on the hydrocarbon structure, the reaction proceeds via C-C bond cleavage in the three-carbon ring or at the double bond to form the corresponding N-acetamides.
