Enantiomer separation by HPLC on a swollen microcrystalline triacetylcellul
ose column of highly substituted 2-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.0(3,8)]decane (2-oxapr
otoadamantane) structures afforded enantiomers of this molecule. Applicatio
n of the octant rule to the carbonyl chromophore to establish the absolute
configuration of the enantiomers did not lead to an unequivocal conclusion.
