✦ Synopsis

Rearrangement of 1,2-divinyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol (I) was shown by Coda, et al (1) to give l-bicyclo[5.3.O]decen-2-one (II). We had made the ssme observation independently (2), but had also found that under milder conditions 7-hydroxybicyclo[5.3,0]

decsn-2-one (III) can be isolated in good yield. In fact a mixture of cis-and trans-I -
