    Abstract:
    An efficient synthesis of functionalized γ-lactones has been developed involving Sakurai exo-cyclization/rearrangement of 3,3-bis(silyl) enol esters with a tethered acetal. While the steric and electronic effects of geminal bis(silane) favor the desired Sakurai pathway, the methoxy species formed in the deprotection step also facilitates both cyclization and rearrangement. The synthetic value of this approach has been demonstrated by efficiently transforming the E-vinylsilane into enyne and the γ-lactone moiety into multisubstituted THF.
