Diastereoselective synthesis of 6-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydropyrans via phosphine-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of α-benzylallenoates with ketones

Org Lett. 2010 Sep 17;12(18):4168-71. doi: 10.1021/ol101762z.

Abstract

The highly diastereoselective synthesis of 6-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydropyrans was realized by the phosphine-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of ethyl α-benzylallenoates and trifluoromethyl ketones.
