title: Polyquinanes by [4 + 4] cycloaddition-transannular cyclization.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Photocycloaddition of 2-pyridones yields a rigid polycyclic product containing a 1,5-cyclooctadiene. The cis isomer, with the alkenes in close proximity, undergoes a transannular reaction when treated with chlorine to give a polyquinane product. The chlorination reaction involves migration of an amide nitrogen and forms a single isomer, generating eight stereogenic centers in two steps.
