Rw. Hoffmann et I. Munster, CIS-FUSED DI-TETRAHYDROPYRANS AND TRI-TETRAHYDROPYRANS BY INTRAMOLECULAR ALLYLBORATION REACTIONS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(9), 1995, pp. 1431-1434
A one pot procedure is described, in which omega-oxo-gamma-alkoxyallyl
boronates 8 are generated from omega-allyloxy-aldehydes 9 and cyclized
to cis-disubstituted vinyltetrahydropyranols 4. Repetition of this pr
ocedure on the allyloxyaldehyde 11 led to the cis-syn-cis-di-tetrahydr
opyranol 12, and on to the cis-syn-cis-syn-tri-tetrahydropyranol 15.
