Keywords: a-Campholenic aldehyde, acid-catalyzed rearrangement, intramolecular cyclization.

 

 

p-Toluenesulfonic acid (35 mg, 0.20 mmol) was added to a stirred mixture of campholenic aldehyde (1) (725 mg, 3.81 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonamide (1.22 g, 6.96 mmol) in toluene (20 mL). Then a Dean-Stark trap device was fit and the reaction refluxed for 0.5 h. After that, the mixture was cooled to 0oC, filtered through a silica gel pad and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield a residue (1.30g) which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, using a 2:1 Hexane/Et2O mixture as eluent, to give the title compound 2 (517 mg, 1.69 mmol, 44%).
