Regioselective cleavage of tetrahydrofurans bearing proximate functional groups with acid iodides
Mimero,Saluzzo,Amouroux
, p. 613 - 627 (1995)
Tetrahydrofurans functionalized at the C2 or C3 position (alcohols, esters, amine, ether, acetal) are cleaved with RCOCl/NaI (R = Me, tBu) in acetonitrile to give regioselectively trifunctionalized derivatives. In all cases the cleavage occurs mainly or exclusively at the C-O bond the most remote from the functional group.

A process for the preparation of 2- acetoxymethyl-4-halo-but-l-yl acetates (I) in which X is chlorine or bromine, which are useful intermediates for the preparation of antiviral medicaments such as Penciclovir and Famciclovir, comprising the opening of 3-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydrofuran (V) in the presence of an acylating agent and a Lewis acid selected from magnesium bromide and samarium triiodide.
