Enantioselective syntheses of 2,3-dihydro-4h-pyran-4-ones and 3(2h)-furanones

This thesis concerns the construction of 2,3-dihydro-4r7-pyran-4-one and 3(2//)-furanone ring systems by mercury(II)-catalysed reactions, or by more conventional cyclisations, and the potential of such reactions for the synthesis of natural products. Chapter one provides a literature survey of react...
