Strong dienophiles prefer to add onto the diene moiety attached at C(2),C(3) of 2,3,6,7‐tetramethylidenebicyclo[3.2.1]octane ((±)‐ 1 ; see Scheme 1 ), whereas in the case of 3,4,6,7‐tetramethylidenebicyclo[3.2.1]octane‐2‐ exo ,8‐ syn ‐diyl derivatives, the diene moiety at C(6),C(7) reacts faster than that at C(3),C(4), as long the bulk of the 8‐ syn ‐substituent is large enough (see Schemes 2 and 3 ).
