Abstract

The cycloaddition of in situ generated cyclohexa-2,4-dienones with vinyl ethers, vinyl acetate, and phenyl vinyl sulfone leading to variously functionalized bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes has been examined. Functional group manipulation in the resulting adducts gave bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes endowed with a β,γ-enone chromophore. Triplet-sensitized irradiation of bicyclooctenones followed by reductive cleavage provided a stereoselective route to diquinane frameworks having diverse functionalities.
