The synthesis of 2-pyridyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes 12, 13, 15 and 16 was accomplished via zinc chloride-mediated Diels-Alder reaction of furan 5 with 2- and 4-vinylpyridine 11 and 14 respectively. 12 and 13 can alternatively be prepared in near quantitative yield by photochemical cyclocotrimerization of nitriles 9 and 10 with acetylene.
