title: Ring-opening reactions of 2-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrans with nucleophiles.
abstract: Ring-opening reactions of 2-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrans with nucleophiles were reported for the first time. A possible mechanism was also proposed. Finally, this method was used in the synthesis of a novel tetrahydrocarbazole derivative that possesses a biologically active skeleton.
