• trioxolane derivatives [32][33][34] or by dipolarophiles to form various tetrahydrofurans and dihydrofurans. [41] In the absence of appropriate dipolarophiles, cis/trans isomerization of the epoxide ring has been observed. [42] The cleavage of Cα-O or Cβ-O bonds has been confirmed either by rearrangement to
