Method Development for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Medium-Sized Cyclic Ethers and Application to Natural Product Synthesis: Part I. Organocatalytic Oxa-Conjugate Addition for α,α´-trans-Oxepanes Part II. Gold(I)-Catalyzed Alkoxylation for α,α´-cis-Oxocenes Part III. Studies toward the Synthesis

<p>Medium-sized cyclic ethers are challenging synthetic targets due to enthalpic and entropic barriers. Methods for the stereoselective synthesis of &#945;,&#945;&#900;-disubstituted medium-sized cyclic ethers began to appear with the discovery of naturally-occurring, ladder-shaped...
