A new reaction mechanism for the construction of dioxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanone skeletons via a cation cascade has been proposed and examined by DFT and ab initio computations. This mechanism features the following steps: (1) intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization with a methyl oxocarbenium cation formed by carboxylate disconnection, (2) electron-rich aromatic ring assisted methoxide loss followed by lactone formation, and (3) stepwise dyotropic rearrangement resulting in skeletal isomerization from a dioxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanone to the dioxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanone product observed experimentally. The high regioselectivity and driving force for the overall rearrangement were rationalized, and Lewis and Br & oslash;nsted acid mediated reactivities were compared.
