Abstract

A novel intramolecular Prins cyclization of (Z)-2-(5-hydroxypent-2-enyl)phenol with various aldehydes has been achieved using 10 mol% In(OTf)(3) and 30 mol% TsOH to produce the cis-fused hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]chromene derivatives in good yields, while the coupling of (E)-2-(5-hydroxypent-2-enyl)phenol with aldehydes under similar conditions affords the corresponding trans-fused hexahydropyrano[4,3-b]chromene derivatives.
