Abstract

Cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydropyran were easily cleaved at room temperature by sulfuric acid ‐ acetic anhydride providing the corresponding diacetoxyalkanes in good yield. The ring opening was applicable to saturated cyclic ethers, regardless of the presence of substituent groups.

Ring-opening reactions of 1,3-dioxepan-2-one (1) and 1,3-dioxan-2-one (2) with several alcohols were examined. The reactions proceeded without trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in low conversions, while they proceeded smoothly with TFA to afford the ring-opened adducts and oligomers. Ring-opening polymeriz
