Propellanes. Part LXIX. Preparation of lactones from the three isomeric [4.3.3]propellane‐8,11‐diols

Abstract
Each of the three isomeric[4.3.3]propellane‐8,11‐diols was lactonized by using 1, ω‐diacids of different chain lengths. The minimal chain length required to bridge the synsyn diol is –CO(CH2)11CO–.
