<p>Medium-sized cyclic ethers are challenging synthetic targets due to enthalpic and entropic barriers. Methods for the stereoselective synthesis of α,α΄-disubstituted medium-sized cyclic ethers began to appear with the discovery of naturally-occurring, ladder-shaped polycyclic ethers, such as brevetoxin B, and monocyclic ethers, such as (+)-laurencin. Despite the progress made in this field, limitations remain including competing formation of smaller ring sizes and scarcity of catalytic methods. Our aim has been to develop stereoselective syntheses for 7- and 8-membered cyclic ethers which have potential for application in natural product synthesis. The C-O bond disconnection was selected for the methods described within because cyclization and stereoinduction could be achieved simultaneously. In the case of 7-membered cyclic ethers, an organocatalytic oxa-conjugate addition reaction promoted by the gem-disubstituent (Thorpe−Ingold) effect has been developed to stereoselectively provide α,α′-trans-oxepanes.
