4-Alkyl-2,5,7-cyclooctatrienols with high enantiomeric purities (93-96% ee), obtained by an improved copper-phosphoramidite-catalyzed addition of dialkylzinc reagents to cyclooctatetraene monoepoxide, have been subjected to simple and practical manipulations. Simple esterification reactions are able to deliver new functionalized isomeric 8-alkyl-7-acyloxybicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-dienes through a domino sequence of rearrangement reactions, in good yields. Moreover, new 4-alkyl-substituted-2,6-cyclooctadienones with high optical purity can be efficiently obtained from gramscale reactions by simple thermal treatment. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
