Abstract

Homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohols undergo smooth coupling with ketones in the presence of molecular iodine at ambient temperature to produce spirocyclic-4-iodotetrahydropyrans and 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans, respectively, in high yields in a short reaction time with high selectivity. The use of molecular iodine makes this procedure quite simple, more convenient, and cost-effective.Key words: Prins-cyclization, iodine, homopropargylic alcohol, spirocyclic-4-iodopyrans.
