Abstract
The reaction of methylmagnesium iodide with methyl (1R,3S,5R)-1-(furan- 3′-yl)-5-methyl-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-3-carboxylate (2) gives products arising from regioselective carbon-oxygen bond fission and intermolecular transfer of the methyl group of the Grignard reagent to the intermediate oxocarbonium ion, in addition to the usual tertiary alcohol.
