Ring closure of allylicepoxides derived from 1-chloroalkyl phenyl sulfoxides and cyclic ketones with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in 3-Exo-Tet mode gave spiro-linked methylenecyclopropanes having a hydroxyl group in good yields. Oxidation of these compounds gave ketones, which were then treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid in 1,4-dioxane or DMSO at 100°C to give fused 3-methylfurans in good overall
