✦ Synopsis


Ketennnuuum salts dewed from 0-methylglycolic or N-tosylsarcosme anudes cycloadd to olefms to give good yields of the Lorrespondmg cyclobutanones which undergo reglospeclfic Baeyer-Vdhger oxldatlon to form y-butyrolactones A short sequence leading to the regio-and stereoselective addrtion of two different acyl groups to an olefinic double bond should be synthetically useful t This mtght be achreved by a strategy involving the cycloadditron of ketenes or ketemminium salts at the appropriate oxrdatron level followed by a regiospecrfu.
