The methodology described in this paper involves the epoxidation of cyclic ene‐acetals to spontaneously generate 6α‐hydroxy‐bis‐acetals that could serve as precursors for a Cannizzaro‐type rearrangement, yielding bis‐angularly substituted cis ‐fused lactones. Both the oxidizing reagent, m ‐CPBA or NaBO 3 , and the substitution pattern can be important in determining the course of the epoxidation/ring‐opening sequence, with NaBO 3 being the ideal electrophilic oxidant for the epoxidation/spontaneous ring‐opening/ring‐system interchange sequence.
