“…The reaction mixture was then refluxed for 1 h before being allowed to stir overnight at ambient temperature. Following workup as prescribed by Strating et al,42 the crude silyl ether was distilled (75 °C/0.2 mm) to afford a white solid (12.05 g, 99%): mp 42-44 °C; NMR (CDC13) b 0.00 (9, s, SiMe3), 1.50-2.48 (12 H, m, CH2CH2); 13C NMR (CDC13) b 61.66 (Cl), 38.86 (C2), 37.00 (C3), 69.24 (C4), 2.63 (OSiMe3). 4-Deuteriobicyclo(2.2.2]octan-l-ol (1: X = D, Y = OH).…”
