Abstract
Abstract Acylation of the readily available 3-methyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxetane ( 2 ) leads to the corresponding oxetane esters ( 3 ) which rearrange smoothly in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate in methylene chloride at −15° to form ortho esters of the 2, 6, 7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane series ( 4 ).
