Electrophilic additions of Broensted acids to 1,5-dimethylcycloocta-1,5-diene yield syn-8-substituted 1,5-dimethylbicyclooctanes via parallel ?-cyclization and subsequent Wagner-Meerwein type rearrangements.The corresponding anti-isomers are synthesized by nucleophilic substitution in the 8-position.The classical or nonclassical structure of the cationic intermediates is discussed.
