Heptane and derivs

The synthesis of 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes and derivatives is reported in the chapter Synthesis of 7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and Derivatives has been written by P. Vogel and A. J. Moreno-Vargas. Most of the methods, reported to access 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, are Diels-Alder reactions, but non-Diels-Alder reactions such as electrophilic cyclizations have also been included in this chapter. As 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives can be good precursors of other oxygenated heterocycles, their ring cleavage either by cleavage of a C-O or a C-C bond have been reported. In addition, as 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives are extremely...
