Abstract
Lewis acid mediated 5/6/7-endo-dig hydroalkoxylation-reduction cascade on internal alkynols gave an expedient, stereoselective synthesis of cyclic ethers and 1,4-oxazepanes. The strategy has been extended to the first examples of hydroalkoxylation-alkyne Prins-type cyclization cascade of alkyne-tethered alkynols, giving access to oxa-bicyclic scaffolds. This method was used as the key step in the stereoselective total synthesis of calyxolane A-B, as well as (±)-centrolobine and its homologue.
