Starting from the easily accessible (2R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde, enantiomerically pure (Z)- and (E)-chloro-unsatd. esters I were obtained in good yields by olefination reactions. (Z)- and (E)-I were allowed to react with kinetically control-generated deprotonated 3-benzyloxycyclohex-2- enone to give enantiomerically pure tricyclooctane II and its enantiomer, resp. The 'push-pull' substituted cyclopropane moiety of II was opened to give solely the bicyclooctane III.
