Abstract
Two synthetic approaches to the novel C~10~H~16~ hydrocarbon tricyclo[4.4.0.0^3,9^]decane (1; 2‐homotwistbrendane), one of the 19 members of the adamantaneland, and its Lewis‐acid‐catalyzed rearrangement are described. One route starts from tricyclo[4.3.0.0^3,8^]nonan‐2‐one (2; 2‐twistbrendanone). The missing tenth C‐atom is introduced by ring enlargement (Tiffeneau‐Demjanov method). Starting from methyl 8,9,10‐trinorborn‐5‐ene‐2‐endo‐carboxylate (8), ring enlargement by one C‐atom, regio‐ and stereoselective introduction of a C~1~ unit to a 2‐endo,6‐endo‐disubstituted bicyclo[3.2.1]octane, and ring closure by acyloin condensation are the key steps in the second approach.

Regioselective generation of the C(2)-carbocation a of tricyc10[4.2.2.0',~]decane (1) by treatment of both corresponding epimeric alcohols 5 and 6 with BF, and trapping the rearranged tricy~lo[S.3.0.O~~~]decan-7-yl carhocation b with Et,SiH as hydride-ion donor (ionic hydrogenation) gives the corres
The trlcyclc( 4,4,0,03'6) decane system, first synthesized by Whftlock and Siefkenl , has a remarkable geometry, being composed of boat forms twisted in the same sense and existing in two enantlomeric forms Ia and Ib. This chiral system may
