Bicyclo-[2.2.1]hept-2-en-7-yl 4-bromo-benzoate.
The structure of the title compound, C(14)H(13)BrO(2), which contains a norbornenyl group and a 4-bromo-benzoate ester at the single C-atom bridge, has been redetermined [see McDonald & Trotter (1965 ▶). Acta Cryst.19, 456-463] to modern standards to establish high-precision geometrical data to compare with norbornyl and other tetra-cyclic 4-bromo-benzoates. Possible structural evidence is sought to help explain solvolytic reactivities.
