Abstract: Hypocrellin A sensitized photooxygenation of 6-hydroxy-l,4-cyclooctadiene, 6-methoxy-1,4-cyclooctadiene, in methanol and 6-trimethylsiloxy-l,4-cyclooctadiene in 1,1,1-trichloroetha-ne stereoselectively got cis-5,8-disubstituted-l,3-cyclooctadiene and trans-5,6-disubstituted-l,3-cyclooctadiene respectively due to the stable conformation of starting material molecules in the ground state. Therefore a convenient simultaneous synthetic entry into cis-5,8-disubstituted-l,3-cyclooctadiene and trans-5,6-disubstituted-l,3-cydooctadiene has been introduced.

Key words: 6-substituted-1,4-cycclooctadiene, singlet oxygen, cis-5,8-disubstituted-1,3-cy-clooctadiene, trans-5,6-disubstituted-1,3-cyclooctadiene, molecular conformation
