Molecular Rearrangements in the Series of Carane Derivatives

The available information about the molecular rearrangements of carane derivatives in addition, elimination, and substitution reactions are examined and the structural and steric principles which determine the nature of the rearrangements are analysed. A systematic account is given of data concerning the changes in the carane structure in various reactions involving rearrangements with participation of three-membered and six-membered rings.
The bibliography includes 100 references.
