Abstract

Abstract Strategies for the stereocontrolled preparations of 2, 6-cis-and 2, 6-trans-substituted tetrahydropyrans have been devised. These studies have explored methodology for asymmetric induction in SE′ reactions using chiral 1, 3, 2-diazaborolidine controllers. Reactions with aldehydes at− 78 C yield nonracemic 1, 5-diols for chemoselective internal backside displacements. This concept is developed as a flexible and reliable strategy in ...
