Radical cyclisation of the enol ether bromoacetals (26), (28a-c), (29), and (37) in the presence of tributylstannane, produces precursors to the β-oxy-γ-butyrolactones (33), (34a-c), (35), and the α-methylene-β-oxy-γ-butyrolactone (39) in high overall yields.By contrast, treatment of (26) and (28a-b) with the cobalt(I) reagent derived from bis(dimethylglyoximato)(pyridine)cobalt(III) chloride (40), followed by oxidation of the intermediates (43) leads to the corresponding unsaturated β-oxy-γ-butyrolactones (42).
