Procedure

To a solution of 3-(trifluoroacetyl)camphor (45 mg, 0.19 mmol) in benzene (10 mL) were added K2CO3 (82 mg, 0.59 mmol), 18-crown-6 (13 mg, 0.05 mmol), and paraformaldehyde (200 mg, 6.59 mmol). The suspension was heated to 80° C. for 2 h and then heated to reflux (oil bath=90° C.) for 4 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, saturated aqueousNH4Cl (10 mL) was added, and the resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL). The organics were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. SiO2 flash chromatography (5% Et2O in hexanes) afforded the α-methylene camphor as a pale yellow oil (32 mg) in 95% yield.
