Highlights

  • Highly efficient three-component ‘one-pot’ sequential reaction.

  • Very mild reaction conditions, very simple operation procedure.

  • Wide substrate scope.

Abstract

With ammonium acetate as catalyst, three-component ‘one-pot’ reaction of β-keto perfluoroalkanesulfones, aldehydes, and vinyl ethers proceeded smoothly and afforded tetrasubstituted 2,3-dihydropyrans in moderate to excellent yields. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, as well as cyclic vinyl ether are compatible with this methodology. All dihydropyran products were obtained as cis- and trans-diastereomeric mixtures. The relative configurations were established by comparing the coupling constants of anomeric protons of both isomers and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

    Highly substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans were produced enantioselectively from the reactions of α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones with allenones promoted by an l-valine-derived amide–phosphine catalyst 1 (Scheme 2) (16OL2138) and with allylic ketones promoted by a Cinchona-derived primary amine catalyst and a benzoic acid derivative (16OL6480) or from the reaction of penta-1,4-dien-3-ones with allenoates mediated by a chiral amine (16OL3976). One-pot three-component reaction of β-keto perfluoroalkanesulfones with aliphatic/aromatic aldehydes and vinyl ethers carried out in the presence of ammonium acetate delivers 2,4,5,6-tetrasubstituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans (16TL2171). A dipeptide phosphine-mediated [4 + 2]-annulation reaction of 3-aroylcoumarins with allenones in toluene at room temperature provides coumarino[4,3-c]-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans in high yields and enantioselectivity (16OBC5059).
