The preparation of an established intermediate in a totalsynthesis of hemibrevetoxinB is described. The acid-catalyzed cyclization of trans-4,5-epoxyoctane-2,7-dione exhibited a valuable mixture of kinetic and thermodynamic control: stereospecific epoxide opening was followed by equilibration of the products to provide the required trans-fused octahydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran ring system. Two-directional
