The lead tetraacetate (LTA) reaction on three longifolene-derived 1,4-dicarboxylic acids, viz. α-longiforic acid (5), β-longiforic acid (6) and longicamphoric acid (7) has lead to the formation of four novel oxygen heterocycles 25-28.The transformation involves an interesting sequence, lactone - diol - cyclic ether.In the case of the monoterpenic camphoric acid (8), however, the diol (23) from the LTA-derived campholytolactone (13) fails to give the ether (29) on treatment with tosyl chloride in pyridine, unlike in the earlier four cases 15-18.
