title: Diastereoselective synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofurans via Prins cyclization of enol ethers.
abstract: Indium triflate can be efficiently used for Prins cyclization of acrylyl enol ethers to give tetrahydrofuran ring stereo- and regioselectively in good yields. The formation of five-membered rings is against the Baldwin's rule.
