Eight membered cyclic ether compounds are common structural motifs in natural products and bioactive molecules. The efficient synthesis of eight membered ethers has attracted wide attention for organic chemists. Compared with five-to seven-membered cyclic ethers, the synthesis of eight membered cyclic ethers is more challenging. In this paper, the synthetic methods for eight membered cyclic ethers by transition metal catalysis, ring expansion, retro-Claisen rearrangement, ring-closing metathesis, intramolecular amide enol alkylation and organic catalyzed tandem cyclization are reviewed.

Key words: eight-membered cyclic ethers, synthesis method, asymmetric synthesis
