Described herein is the Brønsted acid-catalyzed double C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bond functionalization of alkyl phenethyl ether derivatives. In this process, a [1,5]-[1,5]-hydride shift occurred successively to afford tricyclic fused pyran derivatives in excellent chemical yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >20 : 1). The key to achieve this reaction was the introduction of two methyl groups at the benzylic position, which was effective in both hydride shift processes: (1) the Thorpe- ...[more]
