Rearrangement of 10-acetoxy-10-vinylcamphene
Keyword(s):
Treatment of 10-acetoxy-10-vinylcamphene with BF3 or HClO4 results in rearrangement to a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivative in preference to 5-endo-trigonal cyclization. Alkaline hydrolysis of this bicyclooctane yields a diol, crystals of which are orthorhombic, a = 9.571(1), b = 12.416(1), c = 18.860(2) Å, Z = 8, space group C2221. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R = 0.035 and Rw = 0.044 for 930 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure analysis has unambiguously identified the diol as 2,3-dimethyl-4-vinylbicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2,3-diol.
