The formolysis of cis- and trans-ditosylates 7a and 7b yielded the mixed esters 13 (at 55 deg C) or the diols 11 (at 100 deg C, after LAH reduction) by single and double ring expansion, respectively.The reactions are stereoselective, occuring with retention of configuration, which points to the intermediacy of phenonium ions.
