✦ Synopsis
The reaction of 2-methylnorborn-2-ene with N-bromosuccinimide produced exo-3bromo-2-methylenenorbornane and 2-methyl-3-bromonortricyclene in a 3 : 1 ratio. No 2-bromomethyl-norborn-2-ene was found. Most of the unreacted olefin was found to be isomerized to 2methylenenorbornane.
The hydrolysis of 2-methyl-3-bromo-nortricyclene with silver acetate in a 50 yo mixture of acetone and water afforded the corresponding alcohol and acetate. Exo-3-bromo-2-methylenenorbornane on similar treatment gave the exo-3-hydroxy-2-methylene-norbornane and 2-hydroxymethyl-norbornane and 2-hydroxymethyl-norborn-2-ene and their corresponding acetates in a 3: 2 ratio.
An ionic rather than a radical mechanism is proposed for the bromination reaction. In the solvolysis reactions of the resulting bromides the nature of the ionic intermediates is discussed.
