Tricyclo[4.2.1.02,5 ]non-7-enes wherein the 3 position is substituted by a methylol group may be made by reacting a bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene with a 2-alkenyl magnesium compound in a 1:1 ratio to yield a molecular addition product which is then oxidized and hydrolyzed to give the 3-methylol product. These substituted tricyclo[4.2.1.02,5 ]non-7-enes are useful, inter alia, as intermediates for the manufacture of lubricating oil additives and various other useful products and they may be used for gas scrubbing applications and the like.
