By treatment of sodium nitronate salts of 5-glyco-4-nitrocyclohexenes with
hydrochloric acid, five new bicyclic ethers with six-membered rings fused t
o five-, seven-, or eight-membered rings have been synthesized; also a mech
anism for their formation is proposed. Structural elucidation of the new co
mpounds is based on spectroscopic data, as well as on their comparison with
those of closely related substances. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All ri
