Sodium Carbonate → 5-Methyl-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalen-5-yl formate

Participants

Reaction Steps

7.4 g (0.042 mole) of 3-methyl-tricyclo[6.2.1.02,7 ]undec-9-en-3-ol--see Example 1--were then added to the above mixture, and the whole mixture was stirred for 3 days at room temperature. The obtained mixture was then decomposed by the addition of 100 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3, extracted with ether (3×50 ml), washed with water (3×50 ml) and dried over Na2SO4. After evaporation 8 g of crude material were obtained which, by distillation at 0.02 Torr, provided the desired compound in a 58% yield.
