Synthesis of tetrahydrothiopyrans

Recent Literature

Tetrahydrothiopyrans have been efficiently synthesized in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity from aldehydes and substituted 5-methylhex-4-ene-1-thiol via (3,5)-thionium-ene cyclization reaction mediated by boron trifluoride etherate.
