Abstract

The transannular oxidative cyclization of cycloalkenols is a useful synthetic method for the intramolecular syn alkoxyhydroxylation of an alkene, a transformation for which there is presently no alternative procedure. Under the influence of certain high-valent chromium reagents, a cycloalkene substrate
