Abstract

Fused tetrahydropyrans were synthesized by silver(I)- and mercury(II)-mediated intramolecular hydroalkoxylations of δ-hydroxy allenes installed on a tetrahydropyran template. Cyclization of simple allenes was promoted by silver perchlorate to afford vinyl-substituted trans-fused bis-tetrahydropyrans, whereas cyclization of methyl-substituted allenes at the internal allenic carbon atom was achieved more effectively with a catalytic amount of mercuric triflate rather than with silver salts.
