  • Title: Re2O7-Catalyzed Approach to Spirocyclic Ether Formation from Acyclic Precursors: Observation of Remote Stereoinduction.
    Author: Afeke C, Xie Y, Floreancig PE.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2019 Jul 05; 21(13):5064-5067. PubMed ID: 31247770.
    Abstract:
    Ketones that are flanked by an allylic alcohol and an alkene isomerize to spirocyclic ethers in the presence of Re2O7 through allylic alcohol transposition, oxocarbenium ion formation, and Prins cyclization. These processes provide significant increases in molecular complexity, with multiple stereocenters being set relative to a stereocenter in the substrate. Stereoselectivity arises from the initial reversible steps being more rapid than the final step, thereby allowing for thermodynamically controlled stereochemical equilibration prior to product formation.
