Is there anyone out there in Organicland who could possibly give
me a little insight as to the logic involved in the naming of Bicyclic
compounds?? Specifically, the nomenclature in the brackets.. I'm not
following the [2.2.1] example given on page 138. Doesn't the bridge cross
at the bridgehead? (which would actually make it [1.1.1]... How can they
call (the example in blue) a 2 carbon bridge when it 's not a bridge at
all? Have those nutty IUPAC folks decided to redefine what a bridge means
in english?? Thanks for the help!!
