Abstract

The formation of fused cyclic ethers by biomimetic synthesis was demonstrated. The one-pot successive ring-expansion reactions of bromo diepoxides were investigated by regarding the epoxy groups as the nucleophiles for the intramolecular cationic carbons to obtain the fused cyclic ethers.
