Abstract

A series of spiro[n.2]alkan-2-ones and their 6 and 7 oxa derivatives were subjected to acid catalysis. In the former series, products arising from hydroxyl(cyclopropyl)carbinyl cations are observed, while in the latter series epoxide oxygen protonation appears to be the dominant reaction pathway. A novel oxavinylcyclopropane rearrangement is reported.
