cis-2-exo,3-exo-Dihydroxybicycloheptane (2) was isomerized in aqueous solution by an improved procedure to the corresponding trans-glycol 3 in 71percent yield, using Raney nickel at 80 deg C for 56 hours.Similarly, cis-1,2-dihydroxyindane (5) was isomerized by Raney nickel at 60 deg C in 42 hours giving 31percent trans-1,2-dihydroxyindane (7).
