Abstract

A facile one-pot synthetic method has been developed for constructing 6-oxa-spiro[4.5]decane skeletons by merging the ring-opening of benzo[c]oxepines and formal 1,2-oxygen migration reactions. More than 30 examples of the 6-oxa-spiro[4.5]decane derivatives have been synthesized under transition-metal-free conditions.
