Multicomponent reactions involving tricyclooxonium ylide intermediate: diastereoselective synthesis of mono- and bisalkoxyoctahydro-1,4-benzodioxocin-6(5H)-one frameworks†
Abstract
A highly diastereoselective tandem ring-enlargement and aldol condensation process involving multicomponent reactions of ethereal tricyclooxonium ylide intermediate with alcohols, mono- or dialdehydes in the presence of titanium(IV) isopropoxide is described to furnish alkoxyoctahydro-1,4-benzodioxocin-6(5H)-one ring systems.
