title: From hydrocarbons to polyols. Cyclooctatetraene to novel cyclooctitols.
abstract: Cyclooctatetraene (COT) derived bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trien-9-one has been recognized as a cyclooctane carbasugar equivalent and elaborated to a range of cyclooctane polyols (cyclooctitols) through a flexible strategy with moderate regio- and stereo-control.
