Abstract

A family of 4-substituted-1-cubanecarboxylic acids have been synthesized and their X-ray crystal structures analyzed. The rare syn-anti OH⊙⊙⊙ O catemer 6 is a recurring pattern in this series of compounds. Catemer 6 is observed in the crystal structures of 4-chloro-1- cubanecarboxylic acid (10), 4-bromo-1-cubanecarboxylic acid (11), 4-iodo-1- cubanecarboxylic acid (12), and 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-1-cubanecarboxylic acid (13). The ...
