Oxidative hydroboration of exo- (1) and end-Fe(CO)3 (2) complexes of 5,6-dimethylidenebicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene are highly stereoselective and give endo -alcohol 3 and exo -alcohol 4 as major products, respectively, Collins oxidations of 3 and 4 furnish the corresponding exo -Fe(CO)3 -complexed 5,6-dimethylidene-2-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octanone 7 and 8. NaBH4 reduction of exo-complexes 7 gives a mixture of 3 and isomeric exo-alcohol 18, whereas reduction of endo-complexes 8 gives the endo-alcohol, endo-complexes 19, as the sole product. The base-catalyzed H/D exchange of 7 and 8 afford the dideuterated exo-complex 35 and the monodeuterated endo-complex 32, respectively. Oxidative hydroborations of the exo-(9) and endo-Fe(CO)3 (10) complexes of 5,6-dimethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene give the corresponding exo-alcohols 39 and 40. Oxidation of 39 and 40 gives the exo- and endo-complexes 41 and 42, respectively, of 5,6-dimethylidene-2-bicyclo[2.2.]heptanone. Only Hexo —C(3) can be exchanged in 42, wheres both H-atoms at C(3) in 41 are exchangeable. The endo-Fe(CO)3 group in 8 and 42 blocks the base-catalyzed H/D exchange of Hendo —C(3), thus providing a test for the configuration of Fe(CO)3 group in these systems. These studies have led to a revision of the iron configurations proposed by Hansen et al, [2] for 1, 2, 9 and 10.
