title: Catalytic formation of C-O bonds by alkene activation: Lewis acid-cycloisomerisation of olefinic alcohols.
abstract: Tin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate has been found to be an excellent catalyst for the cycloisomerisation of non-activated and differently substituted olefinic alcohols to cyclic ethers.
