endo-Bicyclo[2.2.2] oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid, in acidic solution, cyclizes to give a mixture of three isomeric lactones. These three isomers have different stabilities and are partly interconvertible, but their simultaneous decomposition makes the experimental study of these equilibria difficult

β¦ Synopsis
In a recent comunication, Risinqer, Green and Green' have suggested that the iodo-lactone obtained2 frcm the action of iodine and potassium iodide in alkaline solutior. on norborn-S-ene-2-endo-carboxylic acid should be formulated aa 6-exo-iodo-S-endo-hydroxynorbornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid leotone L, rather than the hitherto accepted S-exo-iodo-6-endo-hydroxynorhornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid laztone 2. Beohnann and his coLrkers3'4-have carried out a number qf reactions on the iodo-lactone which on the basis of structure 2 yield 2,6-disubstituted norbornanes (Chart 1). Thus hydrogenolysia yielded '-{atone 3, and saponification and dehydrohalogenation yielded keto-acid f, OTOHc 2 Chart 1. HO H3

The O-acetylmandelates and mandelates of endo-and exo-norborn-5-en-2-ol were prepared, both as a mixture and also as separate diastereomers. 1 H NMR spectroscopy of these derivatives was efficiently used to determine the enantiomeric ratios and to predict the absolute configuration of the alcohols.
