Abstract
Stereospecific synthesis of the title lactam (+)-I starting from (1R,5R,6R)-3-oxobicyclo[3.2.1]-octane-6-carboxylic acid is described. X-Ray structure determination has shown a marked non-planarityof the amide group in I. In accord with theoretical calculations, CD spectrum of the studied (+)-(3R)-enantiomer exhibits a positive n-π and negative π-π band. The rotational strength of the n-π transition is three times higher than that of the π-π transition, contrary to the behaviour of lactams with virtually planar amide groups.
