Abstract

Bridgehead olefin and bridgehead alcohol units are formed simultaneously in one molecule upon solvolysis of the mesylate to give 2 (R = H). The synthesis of 1 from caryophyllene epoxide was achieved for the first time stereoselectively and in good yields. An X-ray structure analysis of the 4-bromobenzoate of 2 confirms the structural assignment.
