The title aminomethyl (5) and amino (6) alcohols, which are of interes
t as intermediates in the synthesis of carbocyclic analogues of nucleo
sides. were prepared from (+)-camphoric acid via methyl (1S,3R)-3-carb
aoyl-2.3.3-trimethylcyclopentane carboxylate (8). Direct reduction of
8 gave 5 in 26% yield. Amino alcohol 6 was prepared in 11-53% overall
yields by several approaches, each involving oxidative degradation of
8 followed by a reduction step. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig
