Popis: The preparation of annulated furans and pyrroles is described as part of a general strategy for the synthesis of medium ring heterocycles. After Birch reduction, the corresponding dihydro compounds were oxidatively cleaved to produce medium ring ethers and amines in an efficient manner. This methodology was successfully applied to the formation of eight- and nine-membered cyclic ethers and nine-membered cyclic amines. Attaching a chiral auxiliary (bismethoxymethylpyrrolidine) to the furan allowed the formation of nine-membered ethers in 95% ee.
