Domino Strategy for the Stereoselective Construction of Angularly Fused Tricyclic Ethers
2015
A stereoselective synthesis of decahydrofuro[3,2-d]isochromene derivatives has been achieved by the condensation of 2-cyclohexenylbutane-1,4-diol with aldehydes in the presence of a stochiometric amount of BF3·OEt2 in dichloromethane at −78 °C. Similarly, the condensation of 2-cyclopentenylbutan-1,4-diol with aldehydes provides the corresponding octahydro-2H-cyclopenta[c]furo[2,3-d]pyran derivatives in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. It is an elegant strategy for the quick construction of tricyclic architectures with four contiguous stereogenic centers in a single step. These tricyclic frameworks are the integral part of numerous natural products.
