Aqueous iodine(III)-mediated stereoselective oxidative cyclization for the synthesis of functionalized fused dihydrofuran derivatives.
An efficient aqueous oxidative cyclization mediated by the combination of iodosobenzene with tetra-(n-butyl)ammonium iodide provides a new convenient and useful route to functionalized fused dihydrofuran derivatives in moderate to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities.
