The ring expansion of (+)-p-menthene-1 (5) by addition of dibromocarbene, followed by silver (I) ion promoted rearrangement afforded isomeric alcohols (7) and (8a), which upon oxidation provided cycloheptenone (9).Similarly, α-terpineol (10) underwent ring expansion to produce alcohols (12) and (13), and the bicyclic ether (14).
