Abstract
The title reaction has been used to prepare nine-membered lactones commencing from 2-vinyltetrahydrofurans and dichloroketene; the resulting DELTA5-dichlorolactones are exclusively trans but dechlorination using Bu3SnH-AIBN (azoisobutyronitrile) achieves concomitant isomerisation to give the cis-unsaturated lactones.
