32. We have found that the furyl ketone products are very susceptible to air oxidation at the activated bridgehead position and cannot be stored for long periods of time. Purging of chromatography and other solvents improves the yield by 10-15%. Subsequent reduction or ketalization of the ketone eliminates this problem.
