title: Construction of fused bis(pyran) units from enones via a hydrosilylation-dihydroxylation-acetalization-reduction sequence.
abstract: HWE coupling of two simple bifunctional fragments provides enones that can be subjected to a four-step sequence to furnish trans-fused bis(pyrans) in good overall yield.
