Abstract

Vinylsilyl alcohols undergo intramolecular cyclization toprovide di-, tri- or tetrasubstituted-tetrahydrofurans. The influence of the number and position of substituents in the stereoselectivity of the process is studied. The presence of a silyl group in the products provides an easy entry to further functionalization, dueto the ability of silicon to be oxidized under mild conditions (Fleming—Tamao oxidation). Moreover, DFT calculations have been performed to get better insight into the influence of the substitution pattern of the vinylsilyl alcohol in the stereoselectivity of the cyclization.
