43. In comparative experiments with those reported by Crandall et al. (see Ref. 8a) and McDonald et al. (see Ref. 12a), we have observed that the unsubstituted bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-exo-oxide reacts with LDA in the same conditions used in this work to give nortricyclanol 3a in 88% yield. These conditions should be compared with those reported (reflux, ether-benzene, 50 h).
