ChemInform Abstract The reaction between the camphor analogue (I) and methyllithium (II) affords the title compound (III). The Ritter reaction with acetonitrile (IV) gives an inseparable 2:1 mixture of the isomeric amides (V) and (VI). Their formation probably proceeds via non-classical carbocations, which undergo Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements. The structures of (V) and (VI) are further confirmed by spectral characterization of the corresponding amines, which are prepared by LiAlH4 reduction.
