The lithium aluminium hydride reduction of 2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one (8) was reinvestigated. In contrast to most halogeno-substituted oxabicyclic ketones, which give predominantly the corresponding endo alcohols, the expected (3endo)-2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ol (9n) is formed in a minute proportion. An X-ray structure analysis of the dominating product gave proof of the exo-alcohol, i.e., (3exo)-2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ol (9x). On the other hand, reduction of trichloroketone 11, 2,2,endo-4-trichloro-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one, and the methoxy-substituted chloroketones 13 and 14 provided the corresponding endo alcohols (12 and 15).
