The Claisen rearrangement approach to fused bicyclic medium-ring oxacycles.
Published 2008“…The synthesis of five fused-bicyclic medium-ring lactones carrying identical ring-fusion to that in the polyether toxins is described using an enolate hydroxylation, intramolecular hydrosilation, Claisen rearrangement sequence.…”

A Concise Synthesis of the Octalactins
Published 2004“…Key steps include the Paterson-Aldol reaction for the rapid assembly of the carbonate 46, methylenation of 46 and subsequent Claisen rearrangement of the corresponding alkenyl-substituted cyclic ketene acetal to provide the core unsaturated medium-ring lactone 47, and the use of enzyme-mediated acetate deprotection in the presence of a medium-ring lactone.…”
