[Study on the amide of 2-chlorobornan-4-carboxylic acid].

During the study of the transpositions undergone by the amide of canphen-4-carboxylic acid on treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid, the formation of the amide of 2-chlorobornan-4-carboxylic acid alone, arising in two polymorphous forms, has been confirmed. Its reduction produced 2-chloro-4-aminomethylbornane; the detachment of hydrochloric acid at the amide of canphen-1-carboxylic acid.
