Homoallylic substrates such as (E)-6-arylhex-3-enyl alcohols, N-tosylamides, and thiols undergo smooth cross-coupling with various aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol % Sc(OTf)3 and 30 mol % TsOH to afford the trans-fused hexahydro-1H-benzo [f]isochromenes, N-tosyloctahydrobenzo [f] -isoquinolines, and hexahydro-lH-benzo [f]isothiochromenes, respectively. However, the cross-coupling of (Z)-olefins such as 6-arylhex-3-enyl alcohols, N-tosylamides, and thiols with aldehydes affords the corresponding hexahydro-1H-benzo-[f]isochromenes, N-tosyloctahydrobenzo [f]isoquinolines, and hexahydro-1H-benzo[f] isothiochromenes with complete cis selectivity via intramolecular Prins-, aza-Prins-, and thia-Prins/(Figure presented) Friedel - Crafts cyclizations, respectively. Though the Prins cyclization proceeds smoothly under the influence of Sc(OTf)3, high conversions and enhanced reaction rates are achieved using a mixture of Sc(OTf)3 and TsOH (1:3).
