TL;DR: In this paper, three cyclooctatetraenes, bridged with methylene groups in a previously unknown 1,3-manner, have been prepared in racemic form by a route involving ultimate disrotatory opening of a suitably constructed bicyclo[4.2.0] octatriene precursor.

TL;DR: Despite downward folding of the central π linkage in 7 and 13, polarization of the exocyclic olefinic bonds does not surpass that seen in 1 and is not at all affected by cumulative carbomethoxy substitution of the peripheral unsaturated centers as in 9 and 10 as discussed by the authors.
