As Heory requested, I'm going to post an interesting transformation that came up in group problems this week.
Propose mechanisms for the following transformations, and predict the final product's structure.

That's close! Can you give intermediates/mechanisms and we can see where you went wrong.

Ok, you made the same mistake I did when I first saw step (i). You went too far - remember we're at low temperature...
Also, step 4 is more than just a work up...

Yup, good work!
This is a rather lengthy dehydration strategy. Selective activation of the primary hydroxyl led to rapid furan formation - the [3.2.1] bicyclic system - the observation that this displacement occurred readily led to the clever bridging strategy - [4.3.1] bicyclic system - with SOCl

, which is then activated as a better leaving group by oxidation in step (ii).
Selenide displacement at the less hindered alkyl sulfate followed by hydrolysis allowed elimination via the selenoxide - 67% over 5 steps.

Quite an interesting reaction sequence! I don't think I've ever seen SOCl2 used that way, but after seeing it laid out it makes sense.
