A potentially versatile intermediate for the synthesis of natural products containing the bicyclooctane ring system is 8,8-dimethylbicyclooct-2-en-4-one (1).This intermediate was prepared efficiently in racemic form from 5-acetoxycycloheptene and in chiral form (1R,7S) from (-)-2-carene, via separate synthetic strategies.In addition, a number of 4-hydroxy(acetoxy)bicyclooctanes (3, 4, and 6) were also prepared and their stereochemistry established rigorously by NMR spectroscopy and chemical correlation to 3t, the structure of which was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
