Özet

The regioselective methanolysis of new azido-4-nitrobenzoate epoxycyclooctane isomers and the characterization of the resulting products are described herein. Firstly, treatment of key compound 8-azidocyclooct-4-en-1-ol with 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride followed by an epoxidation reaction and then methanolysis of the epoxide ring and acetylation resulted in the formation of two corresponding chloro-acetate isomers. The structure of one of the chloro-acetate isomers was determined via crystallographic analysis and the other by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. DFT computations confirm the regioselectivity of the methanolysis process, highlighting its precision and efficiency.
