Bromination of tetramethyl cyclooctadiene-1,2,5,6-tetracarboxylate with N-bromosuccinimide took place with high selectivity to give the corresponding 3,7-cis-dibromide, which allowed us to introduce two (the same or different) alkyl substituents at C(3) and C(7) with one-step or stepwise use of organocopper reagents.
