ABSTRACT: Bismuth trifluoromethanesulfonate (Bi(OTf)3) can be efficiently used for the
preparation of dihydropyrans from β-allenols and aldehydes by oxonium-ene reaction in good
yields. The reaction is highly regioselective. On the other hand, the same reaction with
o
trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) at -45 C affords hexahydropyrano[4,3-
b]pyran skeleton in moderate yields.
INTRODUCTION
The dihydro-, tetrahydro- and pyrano-pyrans are core units of many biologically and
pharmaceutically active compounds (Figure 1). For example, Laulimalide (1) is a macrolide
obtained from a marine sponge which exhibits potent cytotoxicity toward numerous cancer
cell lines and microtubule stabilizing activity similar to that of paclitaxel and the
epothilones.1 Aspergillide (2), a natural product obtained from fungus Aspergillus ostianus
strain 01F313, exhibits cytotoxicity against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells (L1210).2
Martiriol (3), another natural product found in genus Laurencia that belongs to red algae,
shows potent activity against various tumor cell lines.3 Importantly, the olefinic bond of the

dihydropyran ring can be converted into various polyfunctional tetrahydropyrans.4 They are
also considered as useful starting material for the synthesis of homoallylic alcohols.5 In
addition to these applications, 2, 4-disubstituted dihydropyrans are used as additive for
enhancing flavor and aroma of foodstuffs.6

Figure 1: Biologically active compounds containing dihydropyran and tertahydropyran rings
Over the years many synthetic procedures have been evolved to construct dihydropyran ring
such as hetero-Diels−Alder cycloaddition,7 ring closing metathesis,8 cyclization of dienols,9
coupling-cyclization of crotylsilanes with aldehydes,10 gold catalyzed cyclization of allenic
alcohols,11 Prins,12 silyl-Prins13 and oxonium-ene cyclization reactions.14 Recently, Ma group
has reported the In(OTf)3 catalyzed Prins type cyclization of 5,5-disubstituted 3,4-allenols
and aldehydes to synthesize 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans (method a, Scheme 1).15 Although a
variety of methods for the synthesis of dihydropyrans have been developed, more facile and
efficient synthetic strategies are still desirable. Herein, we report Bi(OTf)3 catalyzed and
TMSOTf catalyzed cyclization reaction of allenic alcohol with aldehydes for the synthesis of
3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans and hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]pyrans, respectively, via oxonium-ene
cyclization reaction in moderate to good yields (method b, Scheme 1).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
To start with 5-methylhexa-3,4-dien-1-ol (4a) (1.0 equiv.) was subjected to react with
.
benzaldehyde (5a) (1.0 equiv.) in the presence of borontrifluoride etherate (BF3 OEt2) (1.2
o
equiv.) in dichloromethane at 0 C to room temperature for 12h and a complex mixture was
obtained (Table 1, entry 1). The reaction failed to provide any products in presence of TfOH
(10 mol%) at 0 oC-room temperature (Table 1, entry 2). However, decreasing the temperature
o
to -45 C provided two inseparable products 2-phenyl-3-(propan-2-ylidene)-3,6-dihydro-2H-
pyran (7a) and 4-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,5,7,8,8a-hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran (8a) in 57%
overall yield with ratio (7a: 8a:: 5:2) (Table 1, entry 3). Further screening the reaction with
other reagents such as TMSOTf (10 mol%) in dichloromethane at room temperature also
provided 7a with 48% yield (Table 1, entry 4). However, the reaction with TMSOTf (10
mol%) at -45 oC afforded the product 4-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,5,7,8,8a-
hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran (8a) with 40% yield (Table 1, entry 5). In an attempt to
increase the yield of 8a, the reaction was carried out at - 78 oC with TMSOTf (10 mol %), but
the reaction was not found to be fruitful (Table 1, entry 6). There was no reaction when the
solvent is changed from dichloromethane to 1,2-dichloroethane (Table 1, entry 7). Increasing
the loading of TMSOTf to 20 mol% and 3,4-dien-1-ol 4a from 1.0 equiv. to 1.5 equiv. in
o
dichloromethane at -45 C could not produce higher yield of 8a (Table 1, entry 8). On the
other hand, increasing the amount of benzaldehyde (5a) from 1.0 equiv. to 2.0 equiv. also did

not increase the yield (Table 1, entry 9). Similarly, various Lewis acids such as In(OTf)3,
FeCl3, AgOTf, Sc(OTf)3, Zn(OTf)2 and Bi(OTf)3 were next screened (Table 1, entries 10-15),
amongst which Bi(OTf)3 (10 mol %) at 0 oC to room temperature for 12h in dichloromethane
gave compound 6a with 41 % yield (Table 1, entry 15). Further increase in catalytic amount
of Bi(OTf)3 from 10 mol% to 15 mol% proved to be fruitful with 75% yield of the desired

product (Table 1, entry 16). With the same reaction conditions but at -45 oC, starting material
was recovered with 85% yield (Table 1, entry 17). When dichloromethane was changed to
1,2-dichloroethane no desired product was obtained even after 24h of the reaction (Table 1,
entry 18). Thus, 4a (1.5 equiv.), 5a (1 equiv.) and Bi(OTf)3 (15 mol %) in dichloromethane at
0 oC – room temperature for 12h was found to be the most suitable reaction condition.

With this established optimum conditions, the utility of the reaction was further investigated
with different aldehydes 5a-5n bearing electron-donating and/or withdrawing groups as well
as with various β-allenols 4a-4e as shown in Table 2. The reaction of aldehydes 5b-5d
bearing moderately electron-withdrawing group such as 4-F, 3-Cl and 4-Br on the benzene
ring with 4a afforded the products 6b-6d in 46-70% yields (Table 2, entries 2-4). The
reaction was also found to be feasible with aromatic aldehydes 5e-5f bearing a strong
electron-withdrawing –NO2 group and afforded the 3-prop-1-en-2-yl substituted
dihydropyrans 6e-6f in 78-82% yields (Table 2, entries 5-6). Similarly, treatment of methyl 4-
formylbenzoate (5g) with 4a also provided the 3-prop-1-en-2-yl substituted dihydropyran 6g
in 61% yield (Table 2, entry 7). Intrestingly, treatment of 2-phenylpropanal (5h) furnished
tricyclic compound 6h in 62 % yield (Table 2, entry 8). Aliphatic aldehyde
cyclohexylcarboxaldehyde 5i (Table 2, entry 9) afforded 6i with 45 % yield. Substituents
having strong electron donating functional group on the aromatic ring of the aldehyde 5j
surprisingly gave compound 7b 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(propan-2-ylidene)-3,6-dihydro-2H-
pyran instead of 3-prop-1-en-2-yl substituted dihydropyran (Table 2, entry 10). Aliphatic
aldehyde isobutyraldehyde 5k, also reacts with 4d to give the desired product but with low
yield (43 %). To demonstrate the versatility of the reaction, further reactions using various β-
allenols and aldehydes were next carried out. Treatment of 4-cyclopentylidenebut-3-en-1-ol
(4b) with aldehydes 5b and 5f produced the products 6j-6k in 46-85% yields (Table 2, entries
11-12). Reaction of 4-cyclohexylidenebut-3-en-1-ol (4c) with aldehydes 5b and 5j afforded
the corresponding products 6m-6l in 65-73% yields (Table 2, entries 13-14). Similarly,

expansion of the ring of alcohol such as 4-cycloheptylidenebut-3-en-1-ol (4d) and 4-
cyclooctylidenebut-3-en-1-ol (4e) could also react with aldehydes 5k, 5j and 5l-5n and

The methodology was also extended for the synthesis of pyranopyrans by using TMSOTf (Table 3). It
may be mentioned that pyranopyran skeleton is found in many biologically active natural products17
and they are also used as synthetic intermediates for the synthesis of polycyclic ethers such as marine
toxins.18 The scope of the reaction with TMSOTf was studied using different substrates as shown in
Table 3. Treatment of alcohol 4a with simple phenyl, electron donating methyl substituted and
moderately electron withdrawing bromo-substituted aldehydes 5a, 5l, and 5d could afford the
corresponding pyranopyran products 8a, 8b and 8c, respectively with 40-58% yields (Table
3, entries 1-3). Reaction of 4-cyclohexylidenebut-3-en-1-ol (4c) with aldehydes having
electron withdrawing groups 5e, 5g, 5d, 5b and electron donating group on the aromatic ring
5l afforded the corresponding pyranopyrans 8d-8h in 40-55% yields (Table 3, entries 4-8). It
was observed that substrates having highly electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring
of the aldehydes gave better yields than moderately electron withdrawing and electron
donating group. Further reaction of alcohol 4d with aldehydes 5l, 5e, 5g, 5m and 5j provided
the products 8i-8m in 46-52% yields (Table 3, entries 9-14). In this case there is no role of
electronic effects of the substituent groups of the aromatic aldehyde on the rate of the
reaction. However, aliphatic aldehydes did not give the desired product. The structure and

However, the reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde 5e with acyclic allenol 4a could not produce
desired pyranopyran instead dihydropyran 6e was obtained in 52% yield. This might be due
to the electronic effect of the strongly electron-withdrawing nitro group present in the
aldehyde molecule. Similarly, five membered cyclic allenols 4b was also found to be not
good substrate for the formation of pyranopyrans unlike six and seven membered cyclic
allenols. The reaction of allenol 4b with aldehydes 5e gave an isomeric mixture of 6s and 6s′
with a ratio of 2:1 with 68% overall yield. The substrate 4b is found to be not a good
substrate for the synthesis of tricyclic compound as evident from the reaction of 4b with 5d
which produces 6t with 58% yield (Scheme 2). This unusual behavior of 4b might be due to
the presence five membered ring in the tricyclic ring which destabilizes the overall
configuration of the molecule.

A plausible mechanism that accounts for the regioselective synthesis of 6-7 and 8 is depicted
in Scheme 3. The Lewis acid activates the carbonyl group of aldehyde 5 for the nucleophilic
attack by alcohol 4 to generate acetal A. The acetal after cleavage forms oxocarbenium ion B,
which after cyclization produces intermediate carbocation C. The intermediate C after
rearrangement produces carbocation D via path a, which after elimination of proton gives
final S-trans products 6 at room temperature. On the other hand, carbocation C after

elimination of proton via pathways b gives compound 7. At lower temperature (-45 C)
compound 6 is in equilibrium with its S-cis product 6′, which after reaction with aldehyde in
a hetero Diels-Alder fashion gives pyranopyran 8 (Scheme 3).

In order to prove the formation of compound 8 from compound 6 via intermediate 6′
compound 6 was reacted with 5 under similar conditions and it was observed that
pyranopyrans 8 was obtained in moderate yields (Scheme 4). Accordingly, compounds 8n-o
were obtained in 54 and 46% yields, respectively.

The hetero Diels Alder reaction is highly regio- and diastereo-selective. The regioselectivity
can be explained by the fact that the frontier orbitals of dienes are polarized due to the
presence electron donating CH3 (in case of products 8a-8f) or (-CH2-)4 group (in case of
products 8g-8m) as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, the HOMO of the diene interacts with the
LUMO of the dienophile to give the desired regioisomers.20
Figure 3: HOMO and LUMO interaction and regioselectivity in hetero Diels Alder reaction
The observed diastereoselectivity of the reaction is due to the formation of more stable transition sate
[A] where there is less steric repulsion between the cyclohexene group of the dihydropyran and the

products under these circumstances might be 8 or 10 with protons at C-9H, C-10H and C-17H are in
all cis configuration. The diastereomer 10 is not stable due to the presence of steric repulsion between
cyclohexyl ring and aryl group at C-20 position. Therefore, the desired product is 8 with two phenyl
groups in trans configuration.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, an efficient methodology for the synthesis of dihydropyrans starting from β-
allenols and aldehydes has been developed with a moderate to good yields. The reaction is

highly regioselective. On the other hand, the same β-allenol can be used for the synthesis of
hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran skeleton in moderate yields. The reaction is highly
diastereoselective.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
General Information: All reagents were purchased from commercial vendors as reagent
grade and used without further purification. Column chromatography and TLC were
performed using Silica gel (60-120 mesh size) and silica gel GF254 (0.25 mm), respectively.
Melting points were determined in an open capillary tube and are uncorrected. IR spectra
were recorded on a Fourier transform-infra red (FT-IR) machine either as neat liquid or KBr
pellets. NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz (1H, 400 MHz and C, 100 MHz) and 600
13
MHz (1H, 600 MHz and 13C, 150 MHz) machines in CDCl3 using tetramethylsilane as
internal standard. Chemical shifts (δ) were reported in parts per million (ppm) and spin-spin
coupling constants (J) are given in Hz. High resolution mass (HRMS) were measured using
Q-TOF mass analyzer. The starting allenols were prepared as per the literature procedure.21
General procedure for the synthesis of allenols 4a-4e:
In a round bottom flask, tertiary alcohol 9 (12.0 mmol) was taken along with
triethyl orthoacetate 10 (23.5 mmol). To this solution propionic acid 11 (0.84
o
mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was heated at 135 C for 5h.
After completion of the reaction, the crude product was extracted with ethyl

acetate, evaporated under vacuum and finally purified by column chromatography
(Hexane:EtOAc: 9:1) to give allene ester 12. The allene ester 12 was then reduced
to allenols 4a-4e by lithium aluminium hydride (LAH). The reaction was treated
with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with
brine solution, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in rotary evaporator under
vacuum. Finally the allenols were purified by column chromatography using ethyl
acetate and hexane (1:9::EtOAC:Hexane) as eluent to give pure compounds 4a-4c.
The spectral data of these compounds are in agreement with the literature data.21

Procedure for the synthesis of 6-phenyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (6a):
To a solution of Bi(OTf)3 (15 mol % 0.050 g) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at 0o C was added
benzaldehyde (0.5 mmol, 0.053 g) solution in dichloromethane (1 mL) and 5-methylhexa-
3,4-dien-1-ol (0.75 mmol, 0.090 g) under N2 atmosphere. The reaction was stirred for 12h at
room temperature. After completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC, dichloromethane
was evaporated, washed with brine solution and extraction with EtOAc (2x 30 mL). Finally
6-phenyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (6a) was obtained by column
chromatography.

Procedure for the synthesis of 4-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,5,7,8,8a-hexahydropyrano[4,3-
b]pyran (8a):
o
To a solution of benzaldehyde (5a) (1 mmol, 0.053 g) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at -45 C,
3-cyclohexylideneprop-2-en-1-ol (4c) (0.75 mmol, 0.114 g) was added under N2 atmosphere.
To this reaction mixture, TMSOTf (0.1 mmol, 0.018 g) was added after 5 minutes and then
continued for 5h. It was brought to room temperature; dichloromethane was removed in a
rotary evaporator, quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and extracted with
ethyl acetate (2 x 10 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine solution, dried (Na2SO4)
and evaporated in a rotary evaporator under vacuum. The final product 8a was obtained by
column chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexane as eluents (Hexane:EtOAC::24:1).
