(Matrix presented) The stereoselectivity of Lewis acid-induced endo-regioselective oxacyclizations of 1,4-diepoxides is dependent upon the nature of the terminating nucleophile. For instance, the tert-butyl carbonate-substituted diepoxide of 3,6-dimethylhepta-2,5-dien-1-ol provides a cis-fused bicyclic product, whereas the N,N-dimethylcarbamate derivative affords the trans-fused diastereomer. Stereospecific and regioselective conversion of the tertiary carbamate-terminated 1,4,7-triepoxide (I) to tricyclic all-trans-fused polypyran (II) is also demonstrated.
