Abstract
We describe the design and development of the fi rst catalytic asymmetric vinylogous Prins cyclization. This reaction constitutes an e ffi cient approach for highly diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydrofur- ans (THFs) and is catalyzed by a con fi ned chiral imidodiphosphoric acid (IDP). Aromatic and heteroar- omatic aldehydes react with various 3,5-dien-1-ols to a ff ord 2,3-disubstituted THFs in excellent selectivity (d.r. > 20:1, e.r. up to 99:1). Aliphatic aldehydes react with similarly excellent results when a highly acidic imidodiphosphor- imidate (IDPi) catalyst is used. With a racemic dienyl alcohol, the reaction proceeds via a kinetic resolution. DFT calculations suggest an explanation for unusually high stereoselectivity.
