Abstract

Cycloheptenyl derivatives have been solvolyzed and the products compared with those obtained in the solvolysis of cyclooctenyl derivatives. Solvolysis of Ccyclohepten-1-yl brosylate in either acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid gave 4-cyclohepten-1-01, 3-cydohepten- 1-01 and 1, 3-and 1, 4cycloheptadiene in contrast to 4-cycloocten-1-yl brosylate which gave bicyclic compounds in addition to the normal products. Acetolysis of 3-cyclohepten-I-yl ...
