Reactions of cyclooctene (1) with dibromocyanoacetic esters and copper(I) bromide give (8-10) : 1 mixtures of isomers (2, 3), not stereochemically pure compounds as reported by others. The stereochemistry is elucidated by independent synthesis of one diastereomer (3a). Carbenoid addition of alkoxycarbonylmethylene to 1 and 1,5-cyclooctadiene leads also to exo/endo adduct mixtures. Methods are developed to generate diastereomerically pure compounds (exo-7a, exo-8, endo-9, exo-10, endo-10) from these. Endo esters of this series undergo very facile base catalyzed epimerization.
