Abstract
1,3,5,7 alpha- and 1,3,5,7 beta-Tetramethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-ols 3a and 3b were prepared from the corresponding ketones 2a and 2b. 7 alpha-Methyl isomer 3a gave selectively endo 3 alpha-N-formylaminobicyclononane 10 in th e Ritter reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide. 7 beta-Methyl epimer 3b suff ered water elimination resulting in bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-ene 12 under the sa me reaction conditions. The endo-amide structure was confirmed by X-ray ana lysis..
