title: A Sakurai-Prins-Ritter sequence for the three-component diastereoselective synthesis of 4-amino tetrahydropyrans.
abstract: A simple one-pot procedure for the Sakurai-Prins-Ritter sequence allows rapid assembly of 4-acylamino-2,6-substituted tetrahydropyrans in high yields and with excellent diastereoselectivity from readily available 4-acetoxy-1,3-dioxanes, allylsilanes, and nitriles. A variety of nitriles have been shown to participate. Diastereoselectivities are uniformly high and observed stereochemistry of cation trapping proceeds according to Alder's model of the 4-tetrahydropyranyl cation.
