Abstract

Abstract The transposition of oxirane-ethanols, through alkoxytin compounds, into oxetane-2- methanols and/or oxolan-3-ols (tetrahydrofuran-3-ols) is dependent upon the oxirane configuration. Cis configuration is more suitable for the formation of the smallest ring. Steric hindrance is not sufficient enough to explain the results.
