✦ Synopsis
2,2-Dialkoxytetrahydrofurans 2 (a,b) have been synthesized from epoxides 1 and ketene acetals 2 using ZnC12 as a catalyst. By simple reactions compounds 2 were converted into y-butyrolactones 2, 2-(5H)-furanones 1 and 2-alkoxy-4,5_dihydrofurans g. Recently simple, cyclic orthoesters (3; R = R1 = R2 = H) have been applied successfully in syntheses of biologically active compounds. Stereoselective Claisen rearrangements via such orthoesters (R3 = allylic) gave useful inter-
