We describe a concise synthesis of (+)-isoaltholactone via a Au-catalysed cyclisation of a monoallylic diol to form the tetrahydrofuranyl ring. Analogous cyclisations show that the stereochemical outcome is dictated by the stereochemistry of the diol substrate.
Aspects of stereocontrol in the L-Selectride reduction of 4-acyl-1,3-dioxolane derivatives
Robertson, Jeremy,Unsworth, William P.,Lamont, Scott G.
experimental part, p. 2363 - 2372 (2010/06/16)
The application of L-Selectride, either alone or in combination with ZnCl2, to aryl ketones 1, 8 and 11 resulted in highly anti-stereoselective reduction. In contrast, lactols 22 and 23 gave a moderate syn-preference using L-Selectride alone an
