| 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). |
