✦ Synopsis


Because of its synthetic utility, increasing interest has been drawn to the highly regio-and stereoselective epoxidation of olefinic alcohols by vanadium catalyst. 1,2) Hitherto, such epoxidation has been believed to occur regioselectively at allylic double bond, without exception.la'lb) In this communication, we report a novel transannular epoxidation of cyclic 2,4-dienols to the bridged oxabicyclic compounds having an u-hydroxy dihydropyran ring.
