Acid-catalysed rearrangement of the 5-bromo-5-methanesulphinylbicyclo-[2,2,1]hept-2-enes
Abstract
The acid-catalysed rearrangement of the nor-bornenyl α-bromo sulphoxides (2) results in a cleavage-recombination sequence ultimately generating the regioselective addition product of dehydronorcamphor and methanesulphenyl bromide.
