Abstract
2-Acetyl-3,4-dihydropyrans, assembled from acetylene gas and ketones in a one-pot procedure, are ethynylated with acetylenes (KOBut/DMSO, 15 °C, 2 h) to give acetylenic alcohols, which readily cyclize (TFA, rt, 5 min) to 7-ethynyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes in up to 92% yield. The ring closure of the above acetylenic alcohols can be performed without their isolation from the reaction mixture. Thus, the synthesis of 7-ethynyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes can be realized in just two synthetic operations from simple and available starting materials under mild transition-metal-free conditions.
