The formation of tetrahydrofurans from 2-hydroxyalkyl-oxirane or aziridine is reported. The 5-endo-tet cyclization/ring opening of aziridine proceeded smoothly to give tetrahydrofurans (THFs) under mild conditions. In contrast, the corresponding process of oxirane was unsuccessful and a sequence of SN2 substitution/cyclization was required to form THFs. The application of the process to prepare ent-(-)-pachastrissamine is described.
报告了 2-羟烷基-环氧乙烷或氮杂环丙烷转化为四氢呋喃(THF)的反应。氮杂环丙烷的 5-endo-四元环化/开环反应在温和条件下顺利进行,得到了四氢呋喃(THF)。相比之下,相应的环氧乙烷过程并不成功,需要经历 SN2 取代/环化反应序列才能形成 THF。描述了该过程在制备 (-)-pachastrissamine 的应用。
