A simple and convenient synthesis of 11,16-di[(E)-arylidene]-13,14-dioxatet
racyclo-[7.4.4.0.(1,9)0(2,7)]heptadeca-2,4,6-trione-12,15-diones and 12,17-
di[(E)-benzylidene]-14,15-dioxatetracyclo[8.4.4.0.(1,10)0(2,7)]octadeca-2,4
,6-triene-13,16-dione, i.e., 2,10-dioxa[4.4.3]propellane-3,9-diones and 2,1
0-dioxa[4.4.4] propellane-3,9-dione, using acetates of the Baylis-Hillman a
dducts has been described.
