Synthesis of bishomohexaprimanedione, the D2h dimer of norbornadienone and a potential precursor to hexaprismane, is reported. The synthesis includes an unusual ring contraction of a cycloalkene using a cis-hydroxylation/periodate cleavage/aldol sequence. The structure of bishomohexaprimanedione determined from single crystal x-ray analysis is well reproduced by ab initio calculations.
