The selenium dioxide oxidation of several unsaturated bicyclo[2.2.2]octanones has been examined in connection with the projected utility of properly functionalized products in tandem oxyanionic Cope rearrangement-S(N') transformations. The oxidations studied proved to be regioselective, with attack in the olefinic sector of each molecule occurring to the exclusion of chemical reaction alpha to the carbonyl. Stereoselectivity was also often encountered, with steric factors appearing to contribute heavily to establishing the particular configuration of the newly introduced stereogenic center.
