Abstract
The modification of camphor at C(3) by an aldolization reaction using decanal followed by oxidation of the alcohols mixture was studied. The oxidation of the alcohols mixture with sodium hypochlorite in pure ethanoic acid produces only 3-a-chloro-3-exo-decanoyl-1,7,7-trimethyl bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one
