5- And 6-exocyclic products, cis-2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans, and cis-2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans via Prins-type cyclization.
Exocyclic products having cis-2,5 and cis-2,6 substitution were synthesized from terminally substituted alkynyl alcohols with various aldehydes via Prins-type cyclization in good yields. It is of interest that synthesized 5- and 6-exocyclic vinyl cations generated as a result of Prins-type cyclization could be trapped as a vinyl triflate in CH2Cl2 to give 3-furanylidenes and 3-pyranylidenes. Those 3-furanylidenes and 3-pyranylidenes underwent hydrolysis to give the corresponding 3-acyl-substituted products having all-cis-configured isomers, such as 2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans and 2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans.
