โฆ Synopsis
Selective Conversion of Bromo Oxirane into Tetrahydropyranylacrylate by Epoxide Ring Opening.
-With the aim to construct the tetrahydropyran skeleton of rhopaloic acid and hippospongic acid, ring expansion of title compound (I) is investigated with various Lewis acids. Whereas the combination AgNO3/ KPF6 yields the desired product, TiBr4, MgBr2, and ZnBr2 afford furan rings as major components. Only open-chain products are obtained with TiCl4 or aq. HBr. -(TOKUMASU, M.; SASAOKA, A.;
