Meso versions of these compounds yield beta-amino alcohols in the presence of Antimony (III) Chloride catalysts when reacted with aromatic amines, while Jung and Murphy studied the use of Tungsten hexachloride to form trans-vicinal dichlorides from them.

A dimethyloxosulfonium methylide is used to synthesize these compounds from carbonyl compounds via the Johnson-Corey-Chaykovsky reaction, and they can be produced enantioselectively from allylic alcohols through the Sharpless reaction. Alkenes react with mCPBA to form these compounds via a "butterfly mechanism," but they can be more commonly synthesized by an intramolecular SN2 reaction in a halohydrin. The high bond- angle strain in these compounds makes them susceptible to ring opening under strong acidic or basic conditions. For 10 points, identify this class of ethers which feature 3-member rings.
