Wilson JAZ. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52: 34 11 This material was found to contain a small amount of the corresponding syn-alcohol (10:1 anti/syn). The assignment of the relative stereochemistry at the newly formed stereogenic center was made on the basis of the ¹H NMR chemical shifts of the signals corresponding to the vinyl and bridgehead protons (anti δ = 5.29/syn δ = 5.55 and anti δ = 2.29/syn δ = 2.38, respectively).
