Abstract: The trimethylsiyl ether 7 derived in two steps from camphor underwent ring expansion via an acylion rearrangement to afford two products (8 and 9) when desilylation was attempted. Compound 9 was stable but 8 was oxidized in air to homocamphoric acid anhydride 11. Key words: camphor, acyloin rearrangement.
