Reactions of (1R,4R)-7,7-dimethyl-1-vinylnorbornan-2-one with bromine in carbon tetrachloride and with N-bromosuccinimide in methanol gave the corresponding C-1-epimeric dibromo and methoxy bromo derivatives. Their structure was determined on the basis of spectral data.
Reactions were studied of (-)-(1S,4R)-1-vinyl-7,7-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one with ethyl acetate lithium derivative, potassium acetylide, ozone, with a system OsO4-N-methylmorpholine N-oxide, and some subsequent transformations of the products obtained.
