Novel condensation of ketones with homoallyl alcohols catalyzed by Hg(OTf) 2 has been developed, generating a 6-membered ring ether alcohol, bisether, and olefins. The reaction is initiated b hemiacetal formation, and cyclization of the resulting oxonium cation provides the 6-membered ring carbocation as a common intermediate. Thus, it is a catalytic Prins-type condensation of non-activated homoallyl alcohols and ordinary ketones.
