%X It was observed that 4-methyl-endo-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene, when heated at100¡ãC, isomerizes to a thermodynamically more stable isomer, 2-methyl-endo-3a,4,7,7atetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene, through [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The kinetics of thisthermal rearrangement was studied in the liquid phase in the temperature range of 80 ¨C 140¡ãCand kinetic parameters were evaluated.
