A facile access to the parent [ n .1.1]propellanes 2, 3 and 4 is presented. Lithiation of methallyl alcohol with the BuLi/TMEDA complex and reaction of the organometallic intermediate 8 with paraformaldehyde, ethylene oxide, or oxetane affords the diols 9 which are converted via the dichlorides 10 into the tetrahalides 11 . The cyclization of 11 to the corresponding propellanes is effected with 2 equiv. of MeLi or BuLi via the bromobicyclo[1.1.0]butanes 12 . As expected, 2 cannot be isolated; its formation is deduced from the structure of the consecutive products.
