Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 5323829, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,5-dimethyl-8-hydroxy bicyclo[3,2,1]octane (13.6 g (0.1 mol)) was boiled with 50 ml 48% hydrogen bromide for 4 hours under stirring in the presence of 1 g AMBERLYST A15 ion-exchange resin. The reaction product was extracted after cooling with pentane. The pentane layer was washed with water and a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and boiling down pentane the residue was subjected to fractional distillation under reduced pressure. 18.5 g 1,5-dimethyl-8-bromobicyclo[3,2,1]octane was obtained in 85.1% yield (b.p. 93° C./10 mm Hg). The product obtained was identical with the compound according to the process described in Example 2a.
