Water → (1S,3R,4R,6R)-4-Bromo-3,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-3-ol

To a suspension of (+)-3-carene (82 g, 0.6 mol) and CaCO3 (80 g, 0.8 mol) in water (300 mL) and dioxan (600 mL) is added N-bromosuccinimide (142 g, 0.8 mol). The mixture is stirred at rt for 1 h, diluted with water (1500 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (500 mL). The organic extract is washed with water (3×1000 mL) and 5% aq. Na2S2O3 (2×500 mL), and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the crude product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EA 4:1 to yield (1S,3R,4R,6R)-4-bromo-3,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-3-ol (48.3 g) as a beige solid. 1H NMR(CDCl3): δ 4.05 (dd, J=7.6, 10.6 Hz, 1H), 2.48-2.36 (m, 2H), 2.20 (dd, J=10.0, 14.7 Hz, 1H), 1.42-1.38 (m, 1H), 1.36 (s, 3H), 1.02 (s, 3H), 0.98 (s, 3H), 0.90-0.80 (m, 1H), 0.72-0.66 (m, 1H).
