โฆ Synopsis
RuO 4 catalyses the stereoselective oxidative cyclisation of the 1,6-dienes, 7-methyl-1,6-octadiene and 1,6heptadiene, to the corresponding trans-2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydropyranyldiols, in the presence of NaIO 4 as primary oxidant, in EtOAc:CH 3 CN:H 2 O (3:3:1) at 0ยฐC for 4 min. A mechanistic hypothesis explaining the observed trans-2,6-stereochemical control is formulated.
