title: Bleach/acetic acid-promoted chlorinative ring expansion of [2.2.1]- and [2.2.2]-bicycles.
abstract: [formula: see text] Treatment of vinyl-substituted [2.2.1]- and [2.2.2]-bicyclocarbinols with NaOCl and AcOH provides [3.2.1]- and [3.2.2]-beta-chloro-bicycloketones, respectively. For [2.2.2]-bicycles, these chlorinative ring expansions are particularly efficient and selective.
