Two novel 4‐substituted camphidine derivatives 10a,b have been prepared from (+)‐camphor (1) in five steps, the Beckmann rearrangement being the bottleneck of the synthesis. Isoborneol derivative 5b, formed as a side product during the hydrogenation of arylidene ketone 3b, under Beckmann rearrangement conditions yielded interesting novel rearrangement products 11 and 12.
