Abstract

Tetrahydropyranones are synthesized from 3-bromobut-3-en-1-ols and aldehydes in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity at -35 °C. The carbonyl moiety can be used for Wittig reaction, cis-selective reduction with lithium aluminum hydride, and for the synthesis of aminoguanidine compounds.
