Abstract
Homochiral (SR)-4-bromo-5-(l-menthyloxy)furan-2(5H)-one with stabilized car banions (from nitroalkanes, malononitrile and ethyl acetoacetate) afforded enantiopure bicyclic compounds in good yield (70-90%). 3-Oxabicyclic[3. 1.0 ]hexan-2-one derivatives were obtained with nitromethane and malonic acid d erivatives. However, dihydrofuro[3,4-d]isoxazol-6-one and dihydrofuro[3,4-b ]furan-6(4H)-one derivatives were obtained from nitroethane and ethyl aceto acetate, respectively. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
