Synthetic routes from camphor to longicamphane and picrotoxane derivatives

Camphor has been functionalized at the C-(8) position by treating (+)-3,3-dibromocamphor with bromine and chlorosulphonic acid. A mechanistic rationalization is proposed for this transformation which accounts for the presence of the minor side products that form during 8- and 9-bromination. (+)-8-Br...
