Compounds with bridgehead nitrogen. Part 41. The reaction between trans-2-aminocycloalkanols and formaldehyde

Abstract
trans-2-Aminocyclopentanol and trans-2-aminocyclohexanol condense with formaldehyde to give single isomers of NN′-methanoperhydrocycloalkano[d,i][1,6,3,8]dioxadiazecines whereas trans-2-aminocycloheptanol and trans-2-aminocyclo-octanol give 1 : 1 mixtures of two isomeric bis(perhydrocycloaikeno-oxazol-3-yl)methanes. The formation of the two types of dimer is explained in terms of differences in ring fusion strain.
