Diverse Cyclization Catalyzed by In(OTf)3 for the Convergent Assembly of Substituted Tetrahydrofurans and Tetrahydropyrans
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A novel In(OTf)(3)-catalyzed (3,5) oxonium-ene type cyclization for the facile construction of various multisubstituted tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans was successfully developed. Further mechanistic investigations unveiled an ln(OTf)(3)-catalyzed skeletal reorganization of the tetrahydrofuran to its thermodynamic isomer under thermal conditions.

A simple and expeditious synthesis of 2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans through (3,5)-oxonium-ene cyclization using molecular iodine
A variety of aldehydes undergo a smooth coupling with 6-methylhept-5-en-2ol in the presence of molecular iodine to afford the 2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans in good yields through 3,5-oxonium-ene cyclization under mild and neutral conditions. This method is simple, convenient, and cost-effective. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
