Clemmensen reduction (zinc and hydrogen chloride in dry diethyl ether) of 1-methoxy- and 1,5-dimethoxy-cyclohexa-1,4-diene affords the cyclopropyl ethers, 1-methoxy- and 1,5-dimethoxy-bicyclohexane; in the presence of acetic anhydride, reduction of 6-acetyl-1-methoxy-6-methyl-cyclohexa-1,4-diene leads regiospecifically to 7-acetoxy-1-methoxy-6,7-dimethyl-bicyclohept-4-ene.
