The cobalt naphthenate-catalyzed autoxidation of camphene (1) has been investigated with a view to studying the effects, on autoxidation, of (i) the absence of an easily abstractable allylic hydrogen, and (ii) the presence of an exocyclic double bond.As expected, the only reaction observed is the addition of oxygen to the double bond leading to (a) epoxide formation and (b) cleavage of carbon-carbon double bond giving rise to camphenilone (2).Formation of 2 as well as camphene epoxide (3) has been rationalized and stereochemistry of the epoxide formed has been established.The method is simlpe and synthetically useful for the preparation of camphenilone.
Chromic Acid Oxidation of Some Oxiranes

Oxiranes derived from some alkenes, with olefinic bonds present in different stereoelectronic environments, have been treated with Cr(VI)-reagents.The major products obtained have been identified and their formation rationalized.In some cases, the method becomes synthetically useful for C-C bond cleavage.
