Abstract

Tetrahydropyrans are core units within a multitude of biologically active natural products,[1] and methods to prepare these structures, which utilize CÀH bond functionalization as a prelude to CÀC bond-formation are desirable. This approach is both step [2] and atom [3] economical, because the substrate preparation and reactive intermediate generation employ unreactive CÀH bonds, rather than conventional leaving groups. We have shown ...
