ture was heated under reflux for 3 hr. Most of the methanol was removed (about 200 ml) by distillation and 150 ml of ethyl acetate was added. Potassium chloride was removed (about 15 g) by filtration and was washed several times with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate solutions were neutralized with saturated NaHCOs solution and were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent at reduced pressure yielded the pale yellow ketoxime. A single recrystallization from ligroin afforded 28.3 g (78%) of 3-oximinocamphor, mp 120-123°( reported14 131-133°). The product was used without further purification.2-exo-Hydroxy-3-ezo-aminobornane.-In a 2-1. three-necked flask, equipped with a condenser, a mechanical stirrer, and a dropping funnel, were placed 400 ml of anhydrous ethyl ether (dried over sodium wire) and 21.4 g (0.56 mol) of LiAlH4. After the mixture had been stirred for 15 min, 33.9 g (0.19 mol) of 3-oximinocamphor in 400 ml of anhydrous ethyl ether was added from a dropping funnel at a rate such as to maintain reflux. After being heated under reflux overnight, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and excess L1A1H4 was then destroyed by addition of wet ether, followed by cold water. A white curdy mass of aluminum hydroxide was removed by filtration and was washed several times with ether. The combined ether solutions were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. When the solvent was removed, the residue was distilled under reduced pressure.The product which distilled at 65.1-65.8°( 0.5 mm) solidified and was recrystallized from cold heptane. The yield was 23.6 g (75%), mp 213-214°.
