Abstract
The preparation and crystal structure of the O‐methyl‐protected analog 5 of a lactolate‐type intermediate 3 in the atropisomer‐selective ring opening of configuratively unstable lactone‐bridged biaryls 1 is described. Thus, 5a could be prepared by oxidation of the cyclic ether 7a to give the substituted pyrylium salt 6a and subsequent reaction with methanolate. Attempts to similarly prepare the more strained higher homologous 5, i.e. with a higher steric hindrance next to the biaryl axis, failed. Structural information on 5a could be obtained through X‐ray crystallography, but no decoalescence was observed in the low‐temperature NMR spectrum. magnified image

## Abstract A simple two‐step synthesis of a series of ether‐type bridged biaryls 3, as favorable models for studies of helimerization processes, is described. Starting from the known corresponding lactones 1, a variety of differently substituted representatives 3 is prepared, greatly varying by th
