16. The photolysis of exo- or endo-(1R)-3-bromocamphor proceeds through the enoxy radical 3 in its singlet excited state to give a mixture of 4, 5, and 6 in a ratio of 1:1:2. A solution of KOH in MeOH readily isomerizes 4 to 5 via 6 (Orita, K.; Yorita, K.; Miyazawa, M.; Suginome, H. Synlett 1994, 937-938).
17. The configuration of 4 follows from its reduction with LAH (see procedure A, Experimental Section).
18. 6] was reported to give only the E-isomer 7 (ref 12). For the formation of 7 as a byproduct from bithiocamphor, see ref 13.

21. It is possible that dimerization of enoxy radicals 3 is indiscriminate (ref 9). The slow release of 3 may favor its stereoelectronically controlled capture by camphor enolate 2 as the rate-determining step (cf. ref 7a).

24. The procedure also provides a one-pot synthesis of 4, which previously has only been accomplished by a circuitous route from camphor through the intermediacy of (1R,1R′)-exo,exo′-3,3′-bithiocamphor (refs 12 and 13).
