title: Highly stereoselective prins cyclization of silylmethyl-substituted cyclopropyl carbinols to 2,4,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans.
abstract: The homoallyl cation formed from a cyclopropyl carbinol that was vicinally substituted by a silylmethyl function underwent smooth Prins cyclization with aldehydes and ketones to form 2,4,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans with very high stereoselectivity.
