Abstract

A number of olefins with the double bond at the bridgehead was synthesized by an intramolecular Wittig reaction starting from 2-(bromoalkyl) cyclanones. The ring closure of 3-(3-oxocyclohexyl) propyltriphenylphosphonium bromide leads to the strained bridgehead olefin (“Bredt-olefin”) bicyclo[3.3.l]non-1-ene. Some reactions of this olefin were studied.
