7-Oxabicyclo heptanes, from dicarboxylate

The dicarboxylation of cyclic alkenes is a useful reaction. All-c.vo-methyl-7-oxabicyclo(2.2.1]heptane-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylate (233) was prepared from the cyclic alkene 232 using Pd on carbon and CuCh in MeOH at room temperature with high diastereoselectivity[216]. The dicarbonylation of cyclopentene... 

Twenty-seven two-year-old scaleless hens were transported to Visalia, CA on October 1, 1979, housed in cages overnight with food and water provided ad lib, and exposed to field applications of DEF on October 2. Some birds were repeatedly treated over the next five days. The mature cotton fields (Diversified Farming Inc.) were sprayed from a ground vehicle that treated 8 rows simultaneously with DEF-6 (0.72 kg/l, 6 lb/gal Mobay Chemical Co.) at 0.37 gal/acre and Accelerate (amine salt of endothall (7-oxabicyclo (2.2.1) heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, 0.06 kg/l, 0.5 lbs/gal) at 0.19 gal/acre in 25 gal water/acre.
