Ester derivatives of 6-substituted cis-bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-ol, and of 7-substituted cis-bicyclo[4.2.0]octan-7-ol were solvolyzed to the corresponding cycloheptene and cyclooctene products. In general, acetolysis of the 3,5-dinitrobenzoates in glacial or aqueous acetic acid proved most effective for this transformation. The conjugated dienes obtained from geminal alkenylhydroxy starting materials were sensitive to polymerization and/or olefin isomerization, but were sufficiently stable to permit spectroscopic characterization and subsequent reaction with dienophiles.
