## Abstract A short synthesis of the title compound **13** is reported. The acetal group in **13** enables one to control the regio‐ and stereoselectivity of the two successive __Diels__‐__Alder__ additions of the tetraene. The first addition is significantly faster than the second one, thus making

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Preparation of the title compound 1 is described. An important transannular effect between the two unconjugated s‐cis‐butadiene chromophores is observed by comparison of the UV. spectra of the tetramethylidenenorbornane 1 and the dimethylidenenorbornane 3. The differences observed between the UV. spectra of 2,3,5,6‐tetramethylidene‐7‐oxanorbornane 2 and 1 are also discussed briefly.
