Notes:
Steric Hindrance of the Isocyanide-Cyanide Rearrangement in a Bridgehead PositionThe activation barrier of the isocyanide-cyanide rearrangement of 13-isocyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexamethyltriptycene (5) is the highest of all known isocyanides. The special position of this compound can be explained by a strong increase of strain enthalpy during the isomerization. This is due to the cage-like inclusion of the isocyano group in the bridgehead position by the methyl groups in the positions 1, 8, and 9.
