2-(alkoxycarbon)-m-oxabicyclo[3.n.1]alkan-3-ones can be constructed by this process in which two new carbon-carbon bonds are generated. Unusually high regioncontrol is observed, and good to excellent stereochemicalcontrol can be achieved at virtually every position on the new carbocycles. Intramolecular neighboringgroupparticipation is proposed to explain the unusually high selectivities attained in the annulation

sequence of acetalization, Tishchenko reaction and lactonization. The deliberative use of mercaptan, by comparison with alcohol, is advantageous to facilitate the catalytic cycle. The reaction mechanism and stereochemistry are proposed and supported by some experimental evidence. Such samarium ion/mercaptan cocatalyzed reactions show the feature of remote control, which is applicable to the asymmetric synthesis
