Description
| - It was observed that 4-methyl-endo-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene, when heated at 100°C, isomerizes to a thermodynamically more stable isomer, 2-methyl-endo-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene, through [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The kinetics of this thermal rearrangement was studied in the liquid phase in the temperature range of 80 - 140°C and kinetic parameters were evaluated.
