Abstract
The presence of an alkenyl substituent on the terminal epoxide of a polyepoxide substrate enhances the yield of all-endo-regioselective tandem oxacyclization to trans-syn-trans-fused polycyclic ethers. For a substrate in which the epoxide and alkene functional groups are separated by two methylene substituents, a novel bromonium ion-induced endo-regioselective cyclization to bromooxepane is also described.
