SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
A new method for the preparation of γ-butyrolactones is described in which the key step is the highly stereoselective radical cyclization of bromoacetals to 2-alkoxytetrahydrofurans in the presence of polymeric or low-molecular weight organotin species. 2-Alkoxytetrahydrofurans can be easily converted into γ-butyrolactones by Jones oxidation.
