The evaluation of 4-methylcamphor as an intermediate in Triterpenoid synthesis
A new synthetic route to (-)-4-methylcamphor 43 is described which involved initial conversion of (+)-camphor 1 to (-)-2-methylenebornane 41. Acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 41 provided ( +)-4-methylisobornyl acetate 40 which was reduced to (+)-4-methylisoborneol 42. Finally, oxidation of 42. produc...
