Loss of water and acetic acid in the epimeric bornyl alcohols and acetates are shown to be analogous processes by specific 2 H‐labelling. Among several competing mechanisms cis ‐1,2‐elimination is the most important. Mctastable ion characteristics of this specific process exhibit some unusual features and its product is shown to have a different structure from that produced by the competing reactions.
