Abstract
The paper describes the composition of products arising from the Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene with hexacyclic olefins (hexacyclo[8,4,0,02,7,03,14,04,8,09,13]tetradec-5-ene and hexacyclo[6,6,0,02,6,05,14,07,12,09,13]tetradec-3-ene) under different conditions. The reaction afforded a mixture of heptacyclic olefins (heptacyclo[8,8,0,02,17,03,11,04,9,012,16,013,18]octadec-6-ene and heptacyclo[8,8,0,02,13,03,11,04,9,012,17,014,18]octadec-6-ene), which is an important intermediate in the synthesis of triamantane.
