49. 2, gave erratic results. In one trial at -78 °C with sec-BuLi (1.6 equiv), azabicycle 4 afforded only aldehyde 8c (31%). In another trial, a 15:85 mixture of aldehydes 6c/8c (57%) was observed. Under the same conditions except with less base (1.05-1.10 equiv), there were numerous failures to observe any reaction; one trial gave unreacted 4/6c/8c = 67:0:33 (23%). These results may reflect selective quenching of the less stable 3-anion 5 with a proton source (water, dimethylamine?). In a trial in which reaction was allowed to continue overnight rather than 2 h, the 3-isomer was found to predominate: 6c/8c = 97:3 (41%). This result is consistent with the preferential loss of bridgehead aldehyde 8c noted during purification.
50. 3 exchange was observed in either case.
