Opening and closing a chemical window : Oxidation of the etheno‐bridged [4.3.1]propelladienol 1 with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) affords oxa[5.6.5.6]fenestratetraene 2 . The reduction of 2 with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAl‐H) leads to the regeneration of its precursor ( 1 ; see scheme). These transformations most likely involve a [3,5]‐sigmatropic rearrangement process.
