TERPENE AMINES. IV. SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE OF AMINES FROM d-FENCHONE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00575705

The reductive amination of d-fenchone by aliphatic nitriles has been studied.A probable reaction pathway is suggested, and the stereochemical composition of the products has been determined.It has been established with the aid of 13C NMR that reaction forms a mixture of isomeric optically active N-alkyl-1,2,3-trimethylbicyclo<2.2.1>hept-2-ylamines with a 3:1 ratio of endo and exo isomers.The absolute configurations of the amines synthesized have been determined.
