Electrophile-induced ether transfer: stereoselective synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted-3,4-dihydropyrans.
Stereoselective synthesis of trans-2,6-disubstituted-3,4-dihydropyrans has been achieved from a simple homoallylic alkoxyether via a three-step sequence: electrophile-induced ether transfer, cyclization, and functionalization, which is highlighted by a rare example of Ferrier rearrangement of allylic ether. This methodology was successfully implemented for the asymmetric synthesis of a C7-C17 fragment of swinholide A.
