%X The reactions of the title dilactone with both acid and base are discussed. Evidence is presented for stable &#947;-lactones in the bicyclo[2,2,2]octane-2,6-carbolactone series. Epimerization &#945; to hindered acid groups occurs under acetylating conditions to relieve steric strain in this system.
