Abstract
(Figure Presented) An unprecedented skeletal reorganization initially hindered a concise route based on a tandem [4+2]/[3+2] nitroalkene cycloaddition for the synthesis of the strained title compound. Conditions to suppress the observed dyotropic rearrangement were developed, and X-ray crystallographic analysis of the BF3 derivative (see picture) of the azafenestrane revealed significant planarization around the central carbon atom.
