Abstract

Different 4-halo-substituted polyfunctionalized tetra­hydropyrans were easily synthesized by segment-coupling Prins cyclization utilizing magnesium halides. The moderate Lewis acidity allows transformation of substrates bearing acid-labile functional groups. A solvent dependency of the stereochemistry at the C4 carbon was observed.

  • 16 General Procedure for Prins Cyclization of 8 Magnesium halide (2 equiv) was added to a solution of acetoxy ether 8 in the respective solvent (mixture; 5–10 mL/mmol of 8) at given temperatures. Reaction mixture was stirred for 1–2 h and quenched with sat. NaHCO3 solution and extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (pentane–Et2O, 7:1).
