Strained pentacyclicketones (5a-d) were prepared in high yields by photoinduced [4+ 2] cycloadduct of7V-(ethoxycarbonyl) azepine with substitutedcyclopentadienones. The structure of one of the cage ketones (5d) was confirmed by X-ray analysis to be l, 2-diphenyl-5, 7-bis (methoxycarbonyl)-ll-(ethoxycarbonyl)-ll-azapentacyclo [5.5. 0.02'5.03, 12.04'8]-dodeca-9-en-6-one. The QfPty-C^ Ph) bond of this molecule is extraordinarily long (1.657 (5) Á). Neither mechanical strain nor conventional through-bond interaction of phenyl systems was satisfactory to interpret this elongation. We propose that the heightened level and lower* level of the prestrained Q-C2 bond, originally caused by thedeformed carbon skeleton of 5, leadto efficient mixing with the phenyl orbitals. The enhanced “through-bond” interactions involving strained bond were demonstrated with combined molecular mechanics and MNDO calculations of model structures including 1, 4-diphenylbicyclo [2.2. 0] hexane. Also unusual in the observed structure of 5d is the conformation of methoxycarbonyl groups adjacent to keto group, wherein three carbonyl dipoles align in nearly syn-parallel fashion. Compounds 5a-d decarbonylate rapidly at 180 C to give tricyclic trienes 6a-d in quantitative yields. The thermally labile, long C [-C2 bond of 5 is suggested to play a key role in the ring opening. Decarbonylation rate increased 100-fold by changing the methyl group adjacent to carbonyl of 5a to alkoxycarbonyls (5d, e). This rate enhancement was explained in terms of frontier orbital and steric theories.
