The formation of one unavoidable byproduct in traditional disproportionation reactions limits their applications in synthesis. Inspired by convergent disproportionation, we develop an iodine-induced cyclization and oxidation of allylic alcohols to produce highly functionalized bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes through creation of six new bonds. Guided by the mechanism, we elaborated a variety of other bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes bearing distinct groups with presynthesized dienes and enones as the starting materials. This work provides a divergent access to bicyclo[3.2.1]octane frameworks.
