Abstract

(E)-1-Phenylsulfonyl-3-alken-2-ones as new hetero 1, 3-dienes undergo smooth hereto Diels-Alder reactions with vinyl ethers in the presence of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid such as ZnI2, Eu (fod) 3, and TiCl2 (i-PrO) 2. The reactions are absolutely endo-selective producing 2, 4-cis-3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyrans in excellent yields, the configuration at 3-position depending upon the stereochemistry of the starting vinyl ethers. Reductive ring opening ...
