An efficient microwave-assisted green transformation of fused succinic anhydrides into N-aminosuccinimide derivatives of bicyclo[2.2.2]octene in water

Abstract
A very efficient and clean green synthesis of highly substituted prochiral bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-enes, starting from bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2exo,3exo,5exo,6exo-tetracarboxylic acid 2,3∶5,6-dianhydrides and a variety of hydrazines, is described.
