Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 45,8 g (0,3 mole) of 1,5-dimethyl-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-one in 150 ml dried dimethylether at boiling temperature 250 ml (178 g) of a 5% solution of methyl lithium (4 mole) in diethylether were dropwise added under stirring. After 1 h of stirring at boiling temperature about 50 ml water were dripped in followed by extraction with diethylether. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, evaporated under vacuum and distilled which resulted in 37 g (73%) of 8 in form of a colorless oil having a boiling point (1 mm) of 74° C.
