Abstract
Abstract Treatment of (−)-2-methylenebornane ( 7 ), derived from (+)-camphor (1), with 45% HBr /HOAc results in Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement and formation of 4-methylisobornyl bromide ( 17 ) in 80–90% yield. The enantiopurity of ( 17 ) was determined by conversion to (+)-4-methylisoborneol ( 5 ) and (−)-4-methylcamphor ( 3 ).
