The addition of nitriles of varying nucleophilicity to isocamphanol and exo-1,5,5-trimethyl-bicyclo(2.2.1)heptan-2-ol (isofenchol) was investigated. The authors examined the effect of the reaction conditions on the yield and structure of the target products of the reaction: N-substituted amides. As a result of the study, it was shown that in the reaction with chloroacetonitrile, propionitrile, methoxypropionitrile, isovaleronitrile, and phenylacetonitrile under the conditions of the Ritter reaction, isocamphanol is transformed into the corresponding substituted exo-N-acyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo(2.2.1)hept-2-ylamines, as in the reaction with aceto- and benzonitriles, due to 2,6-hydride displacement accompanied by Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. The structures of these amides were demonstrated by PMR spectroscopy.
