Abstract

(E)-2-Oxo-1-sulfonyl-3-alkenes as new hetero 1, 3-dienes undergo smooth hetero Diels- Alder reactions with vinyl ethers in the presence of Eu (fod) 3 or TiCl 2 (i-PrO) 2. The reactions are absolutely endo-selective producing 2, 4-cis-3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyrans in excellent yields, sufficient catalytic cycles being attained. The sulfonyl-stabilized carbanions derived from the cycloadducts are alkylated followed by reductive desulfonylation.
