Popis: A successful design for the construction of trans-fused medium-size cy- clic ethers is described. The key features of the synthesis are as fol- lows: (i) intramolecular oxirane ring expansion in cycloalkenes to give bridged oxabicyclic systems and (ii) linear, one- or two-directional synthetic operations which generate external oxocycles in single reac- tion steps. The general approach involves the intramolecular addition of a stable γ-alkoxy-substituted allylstannane to an aldehyde carbonyl group, and the entire reaction is conducted in a one-pot process which includes the following: (i) vic-diol fragmentation from the bridged oxabicyclic precursor and (ii) Lewis acid-induced cyclization of the resulting aldehyde-allylic tin system. While the present strategy was mostly developed around racemic models, the potential for adoption of enantioselective features is immediate. The versatility, scope, limi- tations, and potential applications of the present technology are discussed in detail
