Reduction of compound 1 with DIBAL-H followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with hydroxylamine affords the dioxime 3 along with the monoximes 6 and 7. On refluxing in toluene, 3 undergoes a conversion to the polycyclic compounds 5 and 10 by two different cycloaddition processes. The stereochemical course of these domino reactions is discussed.
