由八个碳原子所组成的八碳环化合物,是有机化学中较新的一部分;关于他们的化学研究,在普通的有机化学中很少谈到。八碳环化合物的衍生物存在于自然界的某些生物碱中。例如,假石榴皮碱、甲基安石榴酮等。八碳环化合物很不安定,和萜类化合物一样,容易发生重排反应。因此,八碳环物质就具有许多我们没有见过的特殊反应。本篇主要是根据 L.E.Craig.的论文写成的。 The octa-carbocyclic compound composed of eight carbon atoms is a relatively new part of organic chemistry; their chemistry is seldom mentioned in common organic chemistry. Derivatives of octacarbocyclic compounds exist in some alkaloids in nature. For example, pseudo-garnet base, methyl pomegranate and the like. Octaocarbocyclic compounds are unstable and, like terpenoids, are prone to rearrangement reactions. As a result, octa-carbocyclic materials have many special reactions that we have not seen before. This article is mainly based on the dissertation of L.E.Craig.
