Significance

A radical-induced conjugate addition is used for the highly diastereoselective cyclization of acetylenic β-alkoxyacrylates to give tetrahydropyrans. The reaction proceeds rapidly using tributylstannane with AIBN as radical initiator. The facile protodestannylation of the products leads to fused tetrahydropyrans with reactive functionality for further manipulation.
