Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00205a045

The intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction has been employed for the synthesis of derivatives of (Z,Z)-bicyclo<4.3.1>deca-1,6-diene, a highly strained class of bridgehead dienes (the spectroscopic and chemical properties of these compounds are also reported)
