Abstract

We report a facile and efficient synthesis of highly functionalized cyclooctanoid derivatives by employing a dimerization reaction of 3-oxidopyrylium ylides. Different substituents are introduced on the dimer and the stereochemical outcome of the resultant cyclooctanoids is unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

This prediction is in accordance with experimental attempts for the ring closure in which starting material is recovered instead of the desired cyclic product.
