Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
The use of donor-only silylmethylcyclopropanes in the Lewis acid promoted reaction with aldehydes to generate 2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans is described. The diastereoselectivity obtained in the product is very dependent upon the temperature of the reaction. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
