Particulars obtained for 3-oximino-4-oxohomocamphor, m. p. 112°, described in the previous report, are as follows:
1) Besides forming colored complex salts with potassium and ferrous ions, it also forms colored salts with other metallic ions.
2) It gives camphoric acid and camphoric anhydride in a good yield with reagents that induces the Beckmann rearrangement. It was also confirmed that, in the case of conc. sulfuric acid, carbon monoxide is generated at the same time, so that its reaction mechanism must belong to the second type Beckmann rearrangement, and the formation of camphoric acid monocyanide (VIII) as an unstable intermediate, was assumed.
3) Of the two possible structures of (Va) and (Vb), (Va) was assumed to be more appropriate for 3-oximino-4-oxohomocamphor.
