Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a method for synthesizing unique bridged bicyclic tertiary alcohols through the reductive cascade cyclization of but-3-enyl but-3-enoates using a specific chemical combination (allylSmBr/HMPA/CuCl2·2H2O).
- This process involves the coupling of two carbon-carbon double bonds, leading to interesting new structures not commonly found.
- The resulting compounds, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)bicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-1-ols, are produced in moderate to good yields while maintaining high levels of diastereoselectivity.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(12)H(16)O(2), contains two independent mol-ecules in which the dihedral angles between the benzene and cyclo-propane rings are 75.9 (3) and 76.3 (3)°.

The cascade radical cyclization-ring-opening-anionic cyclization allowed facile and efficient access to 2-(2-hydroxyalkyl)cyclopropanols from readily available materials.
