Bicyclic β-Hydroxytetrahydrofurans as Precursors of Medium Ring Keto-Lactones
摘要:
The reaction of a series of cis-fused bicyclic beta-hydroxytetrahydrofurans with ruthenium tetraoxide, generated in situ from ruthenium trichloride and sodium periodate, afforded 9- and 10-membered keto-lactones in moderate to good yields, in a clean and straightforward fashion. The starting beta-hydroxyethers were obtained from the corresponding 3-alkenols by two alternative procedures, depending on their pattern of substitution: (a) epoxidation by dimethyldioxirane, followed by base-catalyzed cyclization of the resulting epoxyalcohol, and (b) thallium trinitrate-mediated cyclization of the 3-alkenols, a method already described by our group.

Reaction of γ-acetoxy-α, β-enoates with lithium dibutylcuprate followed by alkyl halides results in the predominant or exclusive formation of α-alkyl-β, γ-enoates in high yields under mild conditions; a synthetic route to (±)-α-vetispirene is also presented.
