II! l52).(8) HE Winberg. FS Fawcett, WE Mochel and CW Theobald, J. A m. Chem. Soc., 84, 1428 (1960) phane, and at c to syn-11. The last possibility (attack at c) can be ruled out on steric grounds. Molecular models indicate that the transannular methylene groups badly crowd position c. On an electronic basis, attack at b is preferred over a. The transannular ring is undoubtedly less activated by the methylene groups than the ring to which they are ...
