Popis: In this report, several new epoxide examples were united with β-silyl ketone enolates for the construction, after oxidative fragmentation, of ring expanded lactones, n+3 atoms in size. Importantly, azido lactones were found to be valuable in an extension of this protocol involving the n+3+p expansion into a series of hydroxyolefinic lactams. We also document a short, stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-cis-lauthisan and a new, cuprate-mediated and HMPA-free procedure for the generation of β-silyl silylenol ethers, useful in the environmentally-friendly construction of medium sized lactones.
