Intramolecular copper(I)-catalyzed 2? + 2? photocycloaddition provides an effective route for the synthesis of 2-oxa- and 3-oxabicycloheptanes from homoallyl vinyl or diallyl ethers, respectively.Ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of these multicyclic tetrahydrofuran products provides a novel annulation of cyclobutanated butyrolactones.For intermediates incorporating both methine and methylene groups next to the tetrahydrofuran oxygen, a remarkable selectivity was found for oxidation at the methylene position.Highly stereoselective generation of exo-2-alkylsubstituted 3-oxabicycloheptanes occurred upon photobicyclization of diallyl ethers bearing an α-alkyl substituent.
