Concise syntheses of four tetrahydropyranyl diarylheptanoids isolated from Dioscorea villosa have been described. The key features include Prins cyclization to construct the tetrahydropyran cores, Keck asymmetric allylation, and Mitsunobu inversion. Optimization of the Prins cyclization conditions in order to minimize racemization has been described. Our syntheses also confirmed the absolute stereochemistry of the natural products.
Selective acylation of a sterically hindered hydroxyl group of unsymmetrical diols containing a primary hydroxyl group such as 1,5-hexanediol in the presence of silica gel with acetyl chloride

The selective acetylation of sterically hindered hydroxyl groups of 1,5-hexanediol preadsorbed on silica gel was reported. The relation between the adsorption of the diol on SiO2 and its reactivity for selective acetylation was studied. Results demonstrated that unsymmetrical diols get adsorbed on the surface of SiO2 preferentially via a primary OH group, leaving the non-adsorbed OH group available for reaction.
