, p. 3607 - 3610 (1992)
Benzyl ethers with SN2 active sites in γ-position undergo spontaneous regio- and stereocontrolled tetrahydrofuran cyclization with concomitant debenzylation even under mildly acidic or neutral conditions. Keywords: tetrahydrofuran; neighboring group participation of benzyl ethers; Mitsunobu conditions; small rings; mesylates.
