Abstract

(XIV) was prepared as described by Langlois' O and reduced catalytically as the sodium salt with Raney nickel. In addition to homocamphenilanic, mp 76-77'(XV), there was isolated homoisocamphenilanic, mp 56-57'(VI). Since Langloislo failed to mention his exact yields it is probable that he had both isomers but isolated only one. The formation of both isomers by the catalytic hydrogenation of the sodium salt is not surprising since it is known that ...
