Ritter Reaction on Terpenoids, I Stereospecific Preparation of (1 S,5 R,8 R) and (1 R ,5 S,8 S) 8-Acetamido-2,4,4,8-tetramethyl-3-aza-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-ene Perchlorate

Treament of ( + )limonene with diluted perchloric acid in acetonitrile solution afforded (1 S ,5 R ,8 R ) 8-acetamido-2,4,4.8-tetramethyl-3-aza-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-ene perchlorate while the same reaction on ( - )β-pinene produced the (1 R ,5 S ,8 S ) enantiomer, and terpinolene gave the racemic mixture. The structure of the product is proposed on basis of its physical and spectroscopic (IR, 1H and 13C NMR, MS) properties and its formation involves a Ritter reaction between the monoterpene and acetonitrile.
