Tricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]tridecanes with an Amino Group at the Bridging Carbon. Synthesis and Stereochemistry

Hydroamination of tricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]tridec-2(7)-en-13-one according to Leukart reaction furnished (tricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]tridec-2(7)-en-13-yl)methanamides stereoisomeric at C13 atom. The corresponding epoxides were prepared therefrom. The unsaturated and epoxidized methanamides were hydrolyzed into amines that were converted into Schiff bases.The configurations of substances were established.
