Abstract

1-Alkoxy-1-[2-chloro-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl) ethyl] cycloalkanes were prepared from various cyclic ketones in good overall yields. Treatment of these cycloalkanes bearing a sulfinyl group with i-PrMgCl resulted in the formation of 1-oxaspiro [4. n] alkanes in high to quantitative yields via the 1, 5-CH insertion reaction of generated magnesium carbenoid intermediates. When this procedure was commenced with acyclic ketones, multi-substituted tetrahydrofurans ...
