Ritter reactions. Part 14.1 Rearrangement of 3,3,7,7-tetramethyl-6-methylidenebicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one

Abstract

When the bicyclic ketone 1 is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid and acetonitrile a complex sequence of reactions ensues. The compounds 2–6 are formed, with several of these being obtainable in good yields through careful control of the reaction conditions. X-Ray crystallography was used to determine unambiguously the structures of 4–6. These molecular conversions involve both rearrangement and Ritter reactions, and mechanistic explanations are proposed.
