Oxidative cyclisation of cinnamyl ethers mediated by CAN: a stereoselective synthesis of 3,4-trans disubstituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives.
The oxidative cyclisation of cinnamyl ethers mediated by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate results in the stereospecific formation of 3,4-trans disubstituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives in moderate to good yields.
