A novel synthesis of dihydrofuranyl alcohols through cascade reactions of 1,3-diketones with α,β-unsaturated epoxides

Abstract

A novel synthesis of highly functionalized dihydrofurans had been developed through a tandem process including Michael addition of α, β-unsaturated epoxides with 1,3-diketones, Aldol reaction, retro-Aldol reaction, enolization, epoxide-opening. The...
