Abstract
Addition of allyltributylstannane to 2,7-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane in the presence of TiCl(4) produces 5-allyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran with a trans/cis ratio of 93:7. The trans-selectivity is also observed in additions of various other carbon nucleophiles.
This study demonstrates the trans-selectivity of 2,7-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane for the synthesis of trans-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans with a trans/cis ratio of 93:7.
