Rhodium-Catalyzed Endo -Selective Epoxide-Opening Cascades: Formal Synthesis of (−)-Brevisin

[Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ is as an effective catalyst for endo-selective cyclizations and cascades of epoxy-(E)-enoate alcohols, thus enabling the synthesis of oxepanes and oxepane-containing polyethers from di- and trisubstituted epoxides. Syntheses of the ABC and EF ring systems of (−)-brevisin via all endo-di...
