In my thesis, I described how to prepare aliphatic amides of ketopinic acid from commercially available camphor and perform selected further transformations. I started the synthesis from (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid, as it is also commercially accessible. I prepared ketopinic acid using two different methods, and then two different amides of ketopinic acid, with isopropylamine and with benzylamine. The obtained amides were further converted into aromatic imines and aliphatic imine.
