Seven [2.2.1] bridged alkenes were cleaved to the corresponding dialdehyde products by neutral heterogenous oxidation with KMnO4-CuSO4. 5H(2)O. While endo, endo-dimethyl bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylate, [2.2.2] bridged alkene, gave the corresponding alpha-hydroxy ketone, endo, endo-dimethyl bicyclo[3.2.2]non-8-ene-6,7-dicarboxylate afforded a diketone product.
