Abstract

Acid-catalysed rearrangement of α-hydroxycyclobutane derivative 10̲ followed by retroaldol cleavage and oxidation in an one-pot operation furnishes 18-methyl-1α, 4α-cycloheptane dicarboxylic acid 12̲ in excellent yield. With proper selection of starting α-hydroxycyclobutane derivative this methodology leads to highly functionalised [5-7] and [5-6] fused ring systems 17̲ and 20̲ respectively.
