Abstract

A two-step, stereoselective procedure for the synthesis of nine-and ten-membered carbocycles from readily available phthalates is described. A variety of dialkyl phthalates have been transformed into [6, n]-fused bicyclo systems (n= 5, 6, 7) by a dearomatization/ cyclization process and then converted into cyclonona-and cyclodecadienes through a bond cleavage reaction, whereby both processes are promoted by alkaline metals in THF.
