An account of the discovery of the tungsten carbonyl-catalyzed endo-selective cycloisomerization of alkynyl alcohols to dihydropyrans is described. The utility of this new chemical transformation involving tungsten vinylidene catalytic intermediates is demonstrated in stereoselective syntheses of disaccharide substructures 26-28 of the landomycin and mithramycin families of anticancer antibiotics.
