Description

The addition of dinitrogen trioxide is shown to proceed selectively at the bicyclic double bond of dicyclopentadiene. Simple adduct formation without transannular reaction occuss with 1,5-cyclooctadiene; however, norbornadiene undergoes considerable transannular addition to give nortricyclene derivatives. Reduction of the adducts leads to hydroxylamino oxime derivatives and diamines. The course of addition of nitrogen oxides is interpreted by a free-radical pathway.
