The reaction of acetic acid with 5-methylene- and 5-methyl-6-methylenebicyclohept-2-ene takes place through protonation of the semicyclic double bond with the intermediate formation of a homoallylic ion.When the reaction was realized under kinetically controlled conditions, the tertiary acetates of endo-5-methyl- and endo,endo-5,6-dimethylbicyclohept-2-en-exo-5-ol were obtained; the final products were only the esters of 1-methyl- and 1,7-dimethyltricyclo2,6>heptan-3-ol.The rate of the reaction of 5-methyl-6-methylenebicyclohept-2-ene with acetic acid was determined.The reactions are proposed as methods for the production of esters and also of alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons with the tricyclo2,6> heptane structure.
