β¦ Synopsis
Stereoselective rearrangement of cis-5-(4-methaxybenzyl)-spiro[5,2]-octan-4-01
cis-1 in acidified THF-90% H202 affords 9-oxabicyclo[6.2.l]nonyl hydroperoxides 7 and 8 which are converted to medium-ring, keto-butyrolactones 2 and 3.
In the previous paper we have described a stereoselective rearrangement of spiro[5,2]octan-4-01 in high strength H202 which resulted in ring-expansion with overall inversion of configuration at the carbinyl centerl.
We report herein how this rearrangement may be exploited in a short and efficient synthesis of keto-lactones 2 and 3. Our strategy

The reaction of both cis-and trans-2-amino-l-(l-phenylvinyl)cyclopentanols with aldehydes affords trans-2-alkyl-cis-3a-aryl-4-oxo-octahydro indoles stereoselectively.
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
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.
