title: Synthesis of 1,5-Dioxocanes via the Two-Fold C-O Bond Forming Nucleophilic 4+4-Cyclodimerization of Cycloprop-2-en-1-ylmethanols.
abstract: An efficient [4+4] cyclodimerization of cyclopropenemethanols operating via a two-fold strain release-driven addition of alkoxides across the double bond of cyclopropenes was investigated. This chemo- and diastereoselective transformation provided previously unknown 2,7-dioxatricyclo[7.1.0.04,6]decane scaffolds.
