A general route to dioxabicyclo [n.2.1]alkanes

6,7-Dioxabicyclo [3.2.1]octane has been prepared from its cis-8-bromo derivative by reduction with tributyltin hydride generated in situ from bis(tributyltin) oxide and polymethylhydrogen siloxane; analogous reactions have afforded 7,8-dioxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and 8,9-dioxabicyclo[5.2.1]decane.
