Oxidative decarboxylation of the 3-methyl-2-carboxynorbornanes with lead tetraacetate
Keyword(s):
The mixtures of isomeric acetates produced by oxidative decarboxylation of the four 3-methyl-norbornane-2-carboxylic acids with lead tetraacetate in benzene have been characterized. The composition of these products depends primarily on the configuration of the methyl group in the starting material. The results are compared with those found for the Pb(OAc)4 decarboxylation of the norbornane-, bornane-, and 2,3,3-trimethylnorbornane-2-carboxylic acids. The formation of the products is interpreted in terms of competitive cationic and SNi substitution.
