ResumoAbstract An expeditious preparation of the 6‐ exo ‐hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐2‐one ethylene dithioacetal 2b , a key intermediate in the synthesis of (+)‐13‐stemarene ( 4 ) and (+)‐18‐deoxystemarin ( 5 ) is described. Compound 2b was obtained as the major product by equilibrating the endo rich mixture of 6‐hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐2‐one ethylene dithioacetals 2 with TsOH in benzene at reflux, easily available from the corresponding hydroxy ketones 9 . The model experiments which preceeded the above transformation, not previously described in the literature, are also presented.
