Reaction of spiroepoxy lactones 2 with binucleophiles gave access to a number of hydroxyalkyl heterocycles with interesting substituent patterns. Depending on both the kind of substituent at the oxirane ring as well as the type of the binucleophile, the spiroepoxy lactones react either as C3 or as C2 bielectrophilic building blocks giving 4-, 6- and 7-membered partially saturated N-and S-heterocycles 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 13. Key words epoxidations - ring transformation - thiazepinones - diazepinones - 1,4-thiazinones - benzothiopyranones - β-lactams Full Text References References 1 Otto A. Ziemer B. Liebscher J. Eur. J.
