Abstract

Carbocyclic acid anhydrides can be converted to spiro y-and &lactones by addition of di- Grignard reagents in tetrahydrofuran solution. Five-and six-membered rings have been formed in one-step reactions. Possible mechanistic pathways for this reaction are discussed. The conversion of spirolactones to 1-(whydroxyalky1)-cycloalkanols was accomplished by reduction with LAH to illustrate the versatility of these substances giving (after or upon ...
