Homoketonization of some readily prepared cyclopropoxides provides a new synthetic method for ring expansion of the [2.2.1] and [2.2.2] ring systems. Cyclopropanation of the trimethylsilyl enol ethers derived from a variety of polycyclic ketones affords the required cyclopropyl silyl ethers, which may be ketonized directly or hydrolyzed to the corresponding cyclopropanols before ketonization. The results for fourteen examples serve to define the scope of the ring expansion process, and the silyl enol ethers, cyclopropyl silyl ethers, and most of the corresponding cyclopropanols have been characterized by 13Cmr. The stereochemistry of the ketonization leading to ring expansion has been established by deuterium labelling experiments.

Unexpected difficulties with Simmons–Smith cyclopropanation of the trimethylsilyl enol ether of exo-tricyclo[3.2.1.02,4]-octan-6-one led to a reexamination of this reaction with the parent norcamphor derivative which under "concentrated" conditions gave ring-expanded allylic ethers in low yield. With the tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers, however, the allylic product is formed in high yield in the norcamphor and exo-trimethylenenorcamphor (tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decan-8-one) systems. The tert-butyldimethylsilyl enol ethers of bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-6-one and nopinone do not undergo ring expansion under similar conditions but the silyl ether of 3-methylenenopinol is a major product in the latter case.

A highly efficient metal-free catalytic aldol-type reaction of fluorinated enol silyl ethers and acetals/ketals toward functionalized fluoroalkyl ethers is developed by using less than 1.0 mol% HClO4 (70 wt%, aq.).

As a test for possible competitive α- and β-enolization in bicyclic ketones the behavior of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone in t-BuO−–t-BuOH at 185 °C has been examined. The major reaction (∼90%) involves Claisen condensation followed by retro Diels-Alder elimination of ethylene and Haller–Bauer cleavage. All acidic and phenolic components, accounting for 90% of the product, have been identified and characterized, primarily by their 13Cmr spectra.

The first catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama–Mannich reaction of fluorinated silyl enol ethers and ketimines is developed, allowing highly enantioselective synthesis of benzosultam based β-fluorinated Cα-tetrasubstituted α-amino acid derivatives.

The behavior of the exo and endo isomers of 7,7-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.1.02,4]nonan-6-one (5, 6) under strongly basic conditions (t-BuOH/t-BuOH/185 °C) has been examined. In sharp contrast to their [3.2.1.02,4] analogs, the endo isomer is stable while the exo readily rearranges to 8,8-dimethyltricyclo-[4.3.0.02,4]nonan-7-one (16). Experiments were carried out in tert-butyl alcohol-O-d1 to establish the sites of deuterium incorporation in the initial ketones as well as the relative rates and stereoselectivities of the exchange processes. Ketones 5 and 6 were prepared through ring expansion by ketonization of cyclopropoxides generated from the [3.2.1.0] homologs; the stereochemistry of these ketonizations was established by 2H labelling.
