Tandem alkylation-Michael addition to vinylogous carbonates for the stereoselective construction of 2,3,3,6-tetrasubstituted tetrahydropyrans

Org Lett. 2009 Jun 18;11(12):2519-22. doi: 10.1021/ol900721q.

Abstract

A stereoselective method for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydropyran derivatives employing a tandem S(N)2-Michael addition sequence to vinylogous carbonates is developed. The method is extended to the synthesis of bicyclic ether motifs present in polyether ladder toxins.
