Abstract

The results reported in this study provide a practical protocol for the construction, in one single step of synthetically important γ-lactones in good yields starting from α‐hydroxy cyclobutanone, H2O2 and several stabilized phosphonium ylides. Our synthetic strategy relies on a tandem Baeyer–Villiger oxidation/Wittig reaction/oxa-Michael addition.
