(
Scheme 10). The oxidation of the alcohol 3f with Dess-Martin
periodinane proceeds in 80% yield to give the keto derivative 5.
Hydrolysis of the 3f occurs under strongly acidic conditions and
gives the corresponding carboxylic acid 6[36] in good yields. HI or
HBr were used for the cleavage of the directing group and as
nucleophilic agents for the corresponding substitution reactions
providing halogenated acid derivatives 7[37] and 9[38]. Esterification
of acids 7 gives compound 8 which can be used for various further
transformations.

In summary, we have developed the first Pd(II)-catalyzed
acetoxylation of C(sp )−H bond adjacent to the carboxylic acid
moiety on bridged cage compounds. Cleavage of the directing
group and hydrolysis of the acetyl group provides access to 2-
hydroxy-1-carboxylic acid derivatives. This method has a good
functional group tolerance and a broad scope of substrates.

the application of the products formed using this reaction and
getting further information concerning the mechanism of the
acetoxylation reaction.
