7,7-Dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-1-carboxylic acid is a bicyclic keto-acid intermediate (CAS 6054-89-9, C10H14O3). Synthesized via photochemical cycloaddition of methyl vinyl ketone and isobutylene derivatives, it serves as a critical chiral building block for pharmaceutical synthesis.
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent decarboxylation. Use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and eye protection due to potential irritant properties; avoid contact with strong bases.
