Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00095-P

The anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of bicyclo[2.2.2]octadienols serves as a key step for the construction of substituted bicyclo[5.3.1]undecenones and provides a novel entry to the AB ring system of the taxane diterpenes. The bicyclo[2.2.2]octadienols 11a
