T. Sano et T. Oriyama, HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF CIS-2-SUBSTITUTED-3-VINYLTETRAHYDROFURANS FROM (Z)-TRIMETHYL(5-TRIMETHYLSILOXY-2-PENTENYL)SILANE AND ACETALS, Synlett, (6), 1997, pp. 716-718
A variety of cis-2-substituted-3-vinyltetrahydrofurans are easily and
stereoselectively produced by the reaction of acetals with (Z)-trimeth
yl(5-trimethylsiloxy-2-pentenyl)silane under the influence of a cataly
tic amount of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate under very mild
conditions.
