Abstract

Evidence is presented to support the occurrence of a 3, 2-endo-methyl shift during the C (8)- bromination of 3, 3-dibromocamphor. The mechanism proposed for the rearrangement of (+)- 3-bromocamphor to (-)-6-bromocamphor is also supported by experimental evidence. Key words: 8-bromocamphor, 6-bromocamphor, 3, 2-endo methyl shifts.
