Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a (C 2)-C20-hexaquinane derivative, a potential dodecahedrane precursor

Abstract
In an iterative synthesis utilising four reagents, cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane-2,6-dione has been converted into a (C2)-C20-hexaquinane derivative, a potential precursor of the C20H20pentagonal polycycle dodecahedrane, the all-syncis-stereochemistry having been established by X-ray diffraction.
