Abstract
Abstract 2-Norbornene-2-carboxylic acid undergoes almost exclusive conjugate addition of phenylmagnesium bromide to provide a good yield of exo-3-phenyl-endo-and -exo-2-norbornanecarboxylic acids. Methyl 2-norbornene-2-carboxylate reacts with the Grignard reagent in the 1,2-, followed by the 1,4-manner, to yield as the major product endo-2-benzoyl-exo-3-phenylnorbornane. The structures of these addition products were verified by comparison with independently prepared samples.
