The Synthesis of Cyclopropyl‐Fused Tetrahydrofurans from Vinylcyclopropanes
Abstract The rapid synthesis of oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanols from various vinylcyclopropanes is described. Several carbonyl functionalities were incorporated, as were a range of electronically and sterically diverse aromatic and aliphatic substituents. This structurally unusual building block was then showcased through the rapid synthesis of a series of structurally complex polycyclic compounds.
