Abstract
Transformation of oxacycle-2-methanols to the corresponding lactones is often applied to total synthesis of natural products. It is accomplished by either direct oxidative cleavage reaction using a heavy metal oxidant or multistep conversion. As a practical and environmentally friendly procedure, a direct oxidative cleavage reaction of tetrahydrofuran-2-methanols to the corresponding c-lactones was developed. This new catalytic reaction proceeds with a catalytic amount of 2-iodobenzamide and stoichiometric Oxone (2KHSO5.KHSO4.K2SO4) at room temperature.
