Treatment of the title compounds with either H 3 PO 4 or BF 3 · Et 2 O affords the bridged tricyclic lactones 3 and 7 as main products (57 and 70% yield, resp.). This is an efficient and novel access to specifically functionalised molecules possesing the bicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton. Lactones 4 and 5 and the bicyclic ketone 6 were formed as by‐products (2, 7, and 10% yield, resp.).
