The reactions of l, l-diethoxy-2-propenyl cuprates with 3, 4-epoxycycloalkenes have been found to be largely regiospecific and stereospecific; the product from 1, 2 opening of 1, 3-cycloheptadiene monoepoxide has been converted to the trans-hydroxy-cis-butyrolactone of cycloheptane.Sir: Despite the plurality of synthetic methods1 for the preparation of a-methylene-7-butyrolactones fused to cycloalkanes, there is a scarcity of regiospecific and stereospecific methods for construction of-methylene lactones of 1, 3-diols. 2 We wish to report an efficient synthetic scheme for the con-version of cyclic allylic epoxides into the trans-hydroxy-cis-a-methylene-7-butyrolactone system found in the antitumor natural product, helenalin (1). The related cis-hydroxytrans-a-methylene-7-butyrolactone found in euparotin (2) is also potentially accessible from the reactions described herein.
