Abstract 2,8,10,11-Tetrachloro-12-oxahexacyclo[7,2.1.02.8.03.7.04.11.06.10]dodeca-1,9-diol is a strained cage molecule containing six five-membered rings and a four-membered ring. Twenty-five of the internal angles are less than 105° with 6 ranging from 89.5(3) to 97.4(3)°. The base promoted reaction of 3,6-dipyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine with tetracyclo[6.3.0.04.11.05.9]undecane-3,6-dione yields the monoketone 6,7-[3′,6′-di(2″-pyridyl)-4′,5′-pyridizino]tetracyclo[6.3.0.04.11.05.9]-undecan-2-one. This compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n with enantiomers related by a center of symmetry. In the crystal investigated the molecules are disordered with each site containing about 80% of one isomer and 20% of the enantiomer. When the ketone is hydrogenated and the product isolated, two different crystals were found to have a ratio of alcohol to ketone of .71/.29 and .75/.25 or about 3/1. The alcohol and ketone occupy the same sites, but with opposite stereochemistries.
