An efficient synthetic strategy to obtain 1‐chloro‐ C s ‐trishomocubane and 1‐chloro‐ D 3 ‐trishomocubane is described. 1‐Chloro‐ C s ‐trishomocubane is synthesized by a regioselective Diels–Alder reaction, and B3PW91/6‐31G(d,p) calculations offer a plausible explanation of the reaction mechanism. Surprisingly, 1‐chloro‐ C s ‐trishomocubane does not undergo an acid‐catalyzed rearrangement to form 1‐chloro‐ D 3 ‐trishomocubane and was obtained by chlorosulfation of Cookson's diketone. A possible mechanism of the reaction involving the formation of C s ‐ and D 3 ‐trishomocubane nonclassical cations was proposed on the basis of a mechanistic [B3PW91/6‐31G(d,p) and MP2/cc‐pVDZ] study.
