An inverse demand hetero Diels Alder strategy has been utilised for th
e synthesis of novel dihydropyrans as potential inhibitors of influenz
a virus sialidase. Cyclisation of 1-methoxy-2-acetamido ethene with 2-
oxo-4-tButoxycarbonylamino but-3-(Z)-enoic acid t-butyl ester in the p
resence of tin (IV) chloride afforded a mixture of regio- and stereoch
emical isomers which were further elaborated to analogues of GG167. Co
