Procedure
A 4% solution of (+)-1-butyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one (1.5 g.) in cyclohexane was irradiated in a Pyrex apparatus under argon and in the presence of 200 mg. of acetophenone with a 250 w. medium pressure mercury lamp. After 50 hours, a conversion of 98% was achieved. The solution was concentrated by evaporation and the residue subjected to chromatography on 100 g. of silica gel (70 to 230 mesh) with toluene to remove the acetophenone and with toluene/1% diethyl ether. Pure (-)-8-butyl-tricyclo[3.3.0.02,8 ]octan-3-one was obtained.
