โฆ Synopsis
A highly convergent method for the synthesis of trans-fused polytetrahydropyrans was developed, which involves: (i) coupling of cyclic triflate with an acetylene unit; (ii) oxidation of acetylene to 1,2-diketone; (iii) formation of a trans-fused cyclic dihemiacetal; (iv) O-methylation of the dihemiacetal; and (v) stereoselective reduction of the diacetal to trans-fused oxane rings.

An efficient convergent strategy for the construction of a trans-fused 6-6-6-6-membered tetracyclic ether ring system was developed. The key steps involve coupling of two cyclic ethers by esterification, SmI 2 -promoted intramolecular reductive cyclization of iodo ester to hemiacetal, dehydration to
