Participants

Reaction Steps

18 g of a 50 % peracetic acid solution in acetic acid containing 1 g of sodium acetate were added to a stirred mixture of 15 g of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]decane-8-one (which can be purchased from Ruhrchemie, Bruchstrasse, D-42 Oberhausen Holten, West Germany) and 9 g of anhydrous sodium acetate in 60 g of dichloromethane. The temperature of the reaction mixture was kept at 20°-25° by external cooling by means of a ice-water bath during the whole addition, then it was kept at this value during 48 hours while stirring.
