The effect of strongly basic conditions (t-BuO−/t-BuOH/185 °C) on the exo and endo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltri-cyclo[3.2.1.02.4]octan-6-one has been examined. While the exo isomer is stable, the endo isomer readily rearranges to 4,4-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.0.02.8]octan-3-one (6) which subsequently undergoes reduction of the three-membered ring. The initial transformation is one of very few examples of γ-enolate rearrangement. Experiments in tert-buiyl alcohol-O-d1 were carried out to establish the several sites of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones and in 6 using 2Hmr. These results reveal the stereochemistry of γ-enolate formation and cleavage as well as the stereoselectivities and relative rates of the exchange processes.

The 13Cmr spectra of several cholestanes including 13 A-homo-B-nor derivatives, 11 A-homo derivatives, and 8 B-nor examples have been examined. In addition the 13C data for a few of the corresponding androstanes and 16 precursors in the cholestane series are reported. Examples in both the 5α- and 5β-cholestane families were included. These results represent the first systematic examination of the 13C spectra of A-homo-B-nor steroids and should be useful for the characterization of other members in each series. These data also permit some tentative conclusions regarding the favored conformation for the seven-membered ring in the A-homo derivatives.
