Abstract
The Ph3PAuCl/AgOTf-catalyzed cyclization of monoallylic diols to form tetrahydropyrans is reported. The reactions proceed rapidly at temperatures as low as -78 degrees C with catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol % to provide the products in 79-99% yield. A broad range of structurally diverse substrates perform well in the reaction. When 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans are produced, the reaction is highly diastereoselective for the 2,6-cis product.Entities:
