ABSTRACT
Simple and efficient synthesis of several new 1,3,7-trisubstituted bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives [e.g. 1-hydroxybicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3,7-dicarboxylic acid (4), dimethyl ester 1-hydroxybicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3,7-dicarboxylic acid (5), di-methyl ester-1-methoxybicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3,7-dicarboxylic acid (5a), 1-hydroxy-3,7-di(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (6), 1-hydroxy-3,7-di(bromomethyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (7), 1-bromo-3,7-di(bromomethyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (8) and 1-bromo-3,7-di(cyanomethyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9)] is described.
