Pyran annulation: asymmetric synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted-4-methylene tetrahydropyrans.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] A reaction process for the asymmetric construction of a variety of cis or trans disubstituted pyrans is described. This sequences allows for the asymmetric convergent union of two aldehydes with silyl-stannane reagent 1 in a two-step process: catalytic asymmetric allylation of the first aldehyde using 1 with a BITIP catalyst, followed by reaction of the alcohol so obtained with a second aldehyde and TMSOTf.
