    Abstract

    The title bicyclic system 3, the adduct arising from the formal [6+3] cycloaddition of α-tropolone O-methyl ether (1) and trimethylenemethane (2), has been prepared and subject to single-crystal X-ray analysis. The chemical manipulation of adduct 3 in a range of ways is reported, including through acid-catalysed rearrangement of the derived mono-oxide to give the bicyclo[4.3.1]undecane 21.
