Abstract

An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-dialkyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans, analogues of natural acetogenins. A series of tetrahydrofurans of this type have been obtained using the Ti-catalyzed homo-cyclomagnesiation of terminal 1,2-dienes at the key stage. By Ru-catalyzed oxidation of symmetrical nZ,(n+4)Z—dienes, ketols containing a tetrahydrofuran fragment were synthesized. Diastereoselective reduction of the carbonyl group of these ketols with L-selectride leads to diols, whereas oxidation of their hydroxyl groups with the Dess—Martin periodinane results in the formation of previously unreported diketones in quantitative yields.
