The Mukaiyama aldol-Prins (MAP) cyclization of acetals stereoselectively provided substituted tetrahydropyrans. The scope of the reaction has been expanded to include other electrophiles, including ketals and α-acetoxy ethers. Finally, a double MAP cyclization with orthoformates is described.

A highly efficient cascade reaction has been developed using cheap commercially available or easily accessible starting materials. It has the ability to construct highly functionalized six-membered ring with three to four stereogenic centers in high yields.

The synthesis and absolute configuration of SCH 351448, an interesting ionophoric natural product, are reported herein. Mukaiyama aldol-Prins and segment-coupling Prins reactions were employed to construct the constituent tetrahydropyrans of SCH 351448. Efforts to assemble the C2-symmetric core of the natural product by a templated olefin metathesis strategy are described; however, a stepwise fragment assembly was ultimately utilized to complete the target molecule.

A total synthesis of the marine natural product leucascandrolide A has been completed. The titanium tetrabromide-mediated Mukaiyama aldol-Prins (MAP) reaction with aldehydes developed in our group provided a highly convergent and stereoselective method for assembling the core of the molecule. A new class of MAP reactions with acetals is introduced, and mechanistic considerations for both MAP methods are described.

[reaction: see text] A new version of the Mukaiyama aldol-Prins (MAP) cyclization has been developed. Unsaturated enol ethers such as 3 were found to couple with aldehydes in the presence of TiBr(4) to give 4-bromotetrahydropyran products. This cascade reaction sequence leads to the formation of two new carbon-carbon bonds, a ring, and three new stereogenic centers.
