Intramolecular oxonium ylide formation-[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of diazocarbonyl-substituted cyclic unsaturated acetals: a formal synthesis of hyperolactone C.

Rh(II)-catalyzed oxonium ylide formation-[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of α-diazo-β-ketoesters possessing γ-cyclic unsaturated acetal substitution, followed by acid-catalyzed elimination-lactonization, provides a concise approach to 1,7-dioxaspiro[4.4]non-2-ene-4,6-diones. The process creates adja...
