By photochemical reaction in the presence of oxygen trans-π-oxocamphor decomposes to 1-methyl-4-acetylcyclohexan-2-one, besides carbon monoxide and santenone. The occurrence of the first indicates the formation of 7-hydroxy-α-santenone as an intermediate. In the absence of oxygen, however, 1-methyl-4-acetylclohexan-2-one, accordingly 7-hydroxysantenone, was not formed.
