Abstract
1(E)-Deuteriobutadiene and cyclopropene react at 0°C to give 2-endo-deuteriobicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene; 1-(Z)-deuteriobutadiene leads to the 2-exo-deuterio bicyclic product. Analysis of these products through 2 H NMR spectroscopy reveals complete stereospecificity, indicating that the transition structure having an endo orientation of diene and cyclopropene is strongly favored over the alternative exo geometry.
