title: Reactions of pyruvates: organocatalytic synthesis of functionalized dihydropyrans in one pot and further transformations to functionalized carbocycles and heterocycles.
abstract: Concise cascade reactions of pyruvates with aldehydes that generate functionalized dihydropyran derivatives in one pot have been developed. The products, dihydropyrans, were further concisely transformed to various molecules.
