Enantionterically pure 2-alkylidenetetrahydrofurans have been prepared by TiCl4 mediated enantiospecific reactions of 1,3-bis-silyl enol ethers with enantiomerically pure epichlorohydrin. In addition, the enzymatic kinetic resolution of 2-alkylidenetetrahydrofurans, using Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B), was studied. Enzymatic kinetic resolution of monocyclic 5-vinyl-2-alkylidenetetrahydrofuran with CAL-B afforded the enantiomerically pure ester with 97% ee. For a bicyclic 2-alkylidenetetrahydrofuran, this proceeded with excellent enantioselectivity (E > 100) affording the enantiomerically pure acid with 98% ee. 2-Alkylidenetetrahydrofurans were prepared by [3+2] cyclization reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl dianions ('free dianions') or 1,3-bis-silyl enol ethers ('masked dianions').
