✦ Synopsis


The epoxides derived from 5H-dibenzo [a,d]cycloheptene and its 2-fluoro derivative were converted into the trans-fused hydropyran-3-one compounds (4aR*,13bS*)-(12-fluoro-)4,4a,9,13b-tetrahydrodibenzo [3,4:6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyran-3(2H)-one and the corresponding 3-amino derivative via two separate sequences. These involved opening of the epoxide by either a propargyl or allylmagnesium reagent followed by tungsten-mediated cyclisation of the alkynol or OsO 4 -catalysed transformation into the diol.

The epoxides derived from 5H-dibenzo [a,d]cycloheptene and its 2-fluoro derivative were converted to trans-fused hydrofurans 4a,b (55 and 44% overall yields) via a five-step sequence, i.e. (i) epoxide ring opening using propargylmagnesium bromide, (ii) mercury(II)-induced cyclisation and in situ bro
