Dehydration of both γ- and δ- hexonolactones, either by intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of triflate leaving groups at C-2, or by Mitsunobu type displacement of the OH-6, provides access to bicyclic lactones which contain tetrahydropyran rings. Reduction or nucleophilic ring opening of these bicyclic lactones furnishes polyfunctionalised tetrahydropyrans in good yield.

Both δ- and γ-hexonolactones provide templates for the construction of bicyclic lactones in which a new tetrahydropyran ring has been formed from overall elimination of water from the C-2 and C-6 hydroxyl groups.Such studies may provide a strategy for the syntheis of C-glycosides from elimination of water between C-2 and C-6 of heptonolactones.
