Abstract

(2, 5)-Ene reactions catalyzed by mesoporous solid acids are reported from the mechanistic point of view. The continuum (2, 5)-ene mechanism from the concerted to the cationic cyclization followed by 1, 2-hydride shift is evaluated. The solid-acid-catalyzed cyclization of the oxonium ion intermediate 4 derived from cyclic allylic lactol ether 3 bearing allylic hydroxy group affords the (2, 5)-ene product as the enol form, eventually tautomerizing to ...
