Abstract

Three-component coupling of aldehydes, vinylcyclopropyl carbinols, and nitriles in the presence of 10 mol% TMSOTf at -40 to 0 °C in dichloromethane affords a novel class of (3-oxabicyclo[4.2.0]octanyl)amides in high yields with excellent selectivity, whereas (1-vinylcyclobutyl)methanol provides the corresponding (1-(5-aryltetrahydrofuran-3-yl)cyclobutyl)amides under similar conditions. This is the first report on the synthesis of oxabicycles through a sequential Prins/Wagner/Ritter process.
