2,6-Disubstituted Tetrahydropyrans by Domino Meyer-Schuster Rearrangement-Hetero-Michael Addition of 6-Alkyne-1,5-diols
Publication History

Abstract
Starting from pentanediol various oct-6-yne-1,5-diols were prepared. In the presence of catalytic amounts of an Au(I) or Pt(II) catalyst transformation to cis-2,6-tetrahydropyrans was observed. It is assumed that this novel domino sequence proceeds via an initial Meyer-Schuster rearrangement of the propargylic alcohol yielding a hydroxyenone that undergoes an intramolecular oxa-Michael addition through a chairlike transition state to the tetrahydropyran system.

References and Notes
We found the use of AgO2CCF3 (AgTFA) for the generation of the active Au(I) catalyst to be more convenient over AgSF6 because of its greater stability. In case of substrate 20a, it could be shown that the reaction to 21a works with comparable yield with a catalyst generated from Ph3PAuCl and AgSF6.
