Claims
- 1. A process for preparing 4-homoisotwistane, tricyclo[5.3.1.0.sup.3,8 ]undecane; which comprises contacting tricyclo[6.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]undeca-2(6)-ene with concentrated sulfuric acid having a concentration of from 75 to 100%, at a temperature of from minus 20.degree. to plus 100.degree. C., in the presence of a liquid aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon.
- 2. A process according to claim 1 wherein the amount of said sulfuric acid is from 1 to 1000 times the weight of said tricyclo[6.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]undeca-2(6)-ene.
- 3. A process according to claim 1 wherein the concentration of said sulfuric acid is from 90 to 98% and the amount thereof is from 10 to 100 times the weight of said tricyclo[6.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]undeca-2(6)-ene.
- 4. A process according to claim 1 wherein the amount of said hydrocarbon is from 10 to 10.sup.3 times the weight of said tricyclo[6.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]undeca-2(6)-ene.
- 5. A process according to claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon is selected from the group consisting of n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cyclooctane, methylcyclohexane and cyclooctane.
- 6. A process according to claim 1 in which the reaction temperature is from about 20.degree. to about 30.degree. C.
