Abstract
The title compound, 3, in which two methylene groups of the parent compound 4 have been replaced by an ortho-substituted benzene ring, has been synthesized. It exists exclusively in the endo-conformation, in contrast to 4 for which the exo-conformation is preferred. High-level density functional calculations are presented for both compounds. They show that the endo- conformation of 3 is favored over the exo-conformation by 3.3 kcal mol
