title: Acid-catalyzed regioselective sulfetherification of alkenols and stereoselective rearrangement of tetrahydrofuran to tetrahydropyran.
abstract: An efficient acid-catalyzed sulfetherification of various unsaturated alcohols with sulfenamides to form tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans regioselectively is described. Mechanistic studies have shown that the tetrahydrofurans can stereoselectively rearrange to the corresponding tetrahydropyrans.
