The effect of strongly basic conditions (t-BuO−/t-BuOH/185 °C) on the exo and endo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltri-cyclo[3.2.1.02.4]octan-6-one has been examined. While the exo isomer is stable, the endo isomer readily rearranges to 4,4-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.0.02.8]octan-3-one (6) which subsequently undergoes reduction of the three-membered ring. The initial transformation is one of very few examples of γ-enolate rearrangement. Experiments in tert-buiyl alcohol-O-d1 were carried out to establish the several sites of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones and in 6 using 2Hmr. These results reveal the stereochemistry of γ-enolate formation and cleavage as well as the stereoselectivities and relative rates of the exchange processes.
