The title compound ( 7 ) was synthesized in six steps from 1,8,9,10‐tetrachloro‐11,11‐dimethoxy‐ endo ‐tricyclo[6.2.1.0 2,7 ]undeca‐4,9‐diene‐3,6‐dione ( 4 ) in an overall yield of 36%. The key intermediate, 1,8,9,10‐tetrachloro‐11,11‐dimethoxy‐ endo ‐tricyclo‐[6.2.1.0 2,7 ]undeca‐3,5,9‐triene ( 12 ), obtained from 4 by reduction, mesylation and then 1,4‐elimination, was allowed to react with diethyl azodicarboxylate to afford the Diels‐Alder adduct 16 . Photochemical closure of 16 , followed by hydrolysis and decarboxylation, gave the title compound. The title compound failed to give either the homopentaprismanone derivative 3 or the diene 9 by the photochemical or thermal elimination of molecular nitrogen.
