title: Thermal isomerization of cis,anti,cis-tricyclo[6.3.0.0(2,7)]undec-3-ene to endo-tricyclo[5.2.2.0(2,6)]undec-8-ene.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The gas-phase thermal isomerization of cis,anti,cis-tricyclo[6.3.0.0(2,7)]undec-3-ene (1) to endo-tricyclo[5.2.2.0(2,6)]undec-8-ene (2) at 315 degrees C occurs cleanly through a symmetry-forbidden [1,3] suprafacial,retention (sr) pathway.
