ChemInform Abstract: Conversion of Lactones into Substituted Cyclic Ethers.

AbstractThe lactones (Ia) ‐ (Ic) and (Ie) are consecutively treated with lithium hexamethyldisilazide and N‐phenyltriflimide (II), forming the enol triflates (III).

Conversion of Lactones into Substituted Cyclic Ethers

Abstract Lactone enolates were treated with N-phenyl triflimide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide to afford smoothly the corresponding enol triflates, which, on reaction with lithium dialkylcuprates, gave rise to alkylated cyclic ethers in good yields.
