Abstract

The lithium-ammonia reduction of the α,β-unsaturated bicyclic dione 2-methyl-Δ1,6-bicyclo[6,4,0]cyclododecene-5,9-dione 1 has been found to give two isomeric products 2α-methyl-5-oxo-6β-tricyclo[6,4,0,01,9] dodecan-9α-ol 2 and 2-β-methyl-5-oxo-6β-tricyclo[6,4,0,01,9] dodecan-9α-ol 3 involving a transannular reaction. Chemical and spectral evidence are presented to support the assigned structures. The stereochemistry of 2 arid 3 is also discussed.
