Description
Summary:A facile method for synthesizing 3β-chlorinated 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans is described. Introduction of a chloride to 2β-substituted and 2β,4α-disubstituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl phenyl sulfides proceeded efficiently by a CAN-mediated oxidation to give 3β-chlorinated tetrahydropyrans stereoselectively and in good yields, while the CAN-oxidation of 2β,4β-disubstituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl phenyl sulfide afforded the 3β-chlorinated tetraahydropyran as a minor product. However, by tuning the aryl group of the sulfide, the desired 2β,3β,6β-chlorinated product was obtained in good yield. The following silane-reduction of the bicyclic chlorinated acetal gave the cis-fused chlorinated bicyclic ether, where all substituents are oriented on the same side. Cis-fused bicyclic ether with an axially oriented chlorine was synthesized from cyclopropyl sulfides by a CAN-promoted oxidation.
