Abstract

Gold‐catalysed generation of diol equivalents from epoxides and their intramolecular reaction with C≑C bonds to generate bicyclic ketals is presented. This reaction essentially involves the formation of an acetonide, which subsequently cyclises on the alkyne intramolecularly under gold catalysis conditions. This method could be extended to make optically pure bicyclic ketals. Deuterium incorporation experiments were carried out to ascertain the mechanism of the reaction.

Stereoselective rearrangement of 6,7-epoxy-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-2-ones 2 and 3 in water afforded a cisfused butyrolactone as a mixture of two epimers 1a-b. These were used as the starting materials to prepare new bicyclonucleosides 8a-b.
