There should be a strong thermodynamic bias for the alkene conjugated with the ketone.

I see... right now, so you'd reestablish the doublebond in the bridge....

I was planning to do the Beckmann-rearrangement first (i.e. with the alcohol still intact), as I thought it couldn't be done with alpha, beta unsaturated ketones

looking forward to learn your final solution / proposal

I have manipulation of the enone before Beckmann rearrangement.

Where does that methyl group come from.  I understand the first 4 steps.  Oxidize, aldol, beckman, hydrolyze.  I am missing something and I dont know where.  Dehydration? Then friedel-crafts?

No friedel Crafts, but this is what I have.  Understand most of it, but the middle with beckmann and the methyl group is confusing.

This is what I have for a scheme.  See attached.

Me too, and cuprate for missing.

Cuprate for missing methyl.  Got it.  What he has written in his sythesis is the Gilman reagent, lithium dimethylcuprate.  Which according to wikipedia, it uses primary alkyl halides to complete the carbon carbon bond formatiom.  Just as a learning experience, can you point in the direction where the methylation is selective for that type of reaction using a cuprate?

one question that still puzzles me...: with the Beckmann rearrangement, how do we steer which side the amine (amide) will be oriented to? any thermodynamic reason why it should be connected to the 5-membered ring by the end of the day?

hmmm...

still curious what your ideas might be insofar

The group trans to the oxime OH will migrate - the bulkier group is usually in this position.

this would open the question which ring would be of more sterical demand with respect to the nitrogen position (hence leading to a respective hydroxyl-group orientation): 5 or 7 membered ring?

I'd call this a close shave

anything I'm missing here?

Considering the oxime, you should get a strong preference for E configuration - methylene substituent vs cyclopentyl, the latter is significantly bulkier I would expect. This would lead to the desired cyclopentylamine.
