title: (1SR,2SR,3SR,4RS,5RS,6RS,7SR,8RS)-7,8-Dichlorobicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,3,4,5-tetrayl tetraacetate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(20)Cl(2)O(8), the bicyclic system contains a central non-planar cyclohexane ring which is fused to a cyclobutane moiety. The cyclohexane ring has a chair conformation and the whole system adopts a syn conformation. The structure provides information on the stereochemical course of the chlorination, photo-oxidation and hydroxylation steps of the reaction.
