Abstract
Fenchone labeled with ^(14)C in both methyl groups at the 3-position rearranges in concentrated sulfuric acid to 3,4-dimetliylacetophenone in which the radioactivity is essentially equally distributed between the methyl group adjacent to the carbonyl and the one in the ring 4-position (see Fig. 4). A by-product of the rearrangement is camphor, which is likewise in part converted to fenchone in sulfuric acid. The mechanisms of these conversions are discussed.
