Formal [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of electron-rich aryl epoxides with alkenes under Lewis acid catalysis affording tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans

We report on the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydrofurans by reaction between epoxides and alkenes in the presence of a Lewis acid. This is an unprecedented formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between an epoxide and an alkene. The chemical reaction represents a very concise synthesis of tetrahydrofurans from accessible starting compounds.

An improved procedure for the epoxidation of methyl cinnamate derivatives and production of acid sensitive epoxides

By using a biphasic epoxidation system, unreactive methyl cinnamate derivatives were epoxidized at higher rates, and epoxides that decomposed in the presence of m-chlorobenzoic acid (mCBA) to diol ester opening products under standard conditions were obtained in fair to excellent yields.
