✦ Synopsis


The bicyclo[3.2.l]octane ring system is assembled by a three-step process featuring a thermally induced [4+2] cycloaddition followed by a 1,3benzodithiolium ion mediated cyclization onto an enol or silyl enol ether double bond.

The bicyclo[3.2.l]octane carbon skeleton is a common structural subunit in a number of important natural products1 and many methods have been developed to construct this ring system.2 In connection with our studies

The first preparation of enantiomerically pure bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-one-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1), a valuable synthetic intermediate, is described. The synthesis features a retro-Diels-Alder reaction as a key step. Conditions which allow for a high yielding thermal conversion of 3 to 4 are
