Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydrofurans was achieved by formal [3+2]-cycloaddition of allyl and crotylsilanes with alpha-triethylsilyloxy aldehydes. The scope of the reaction was examined by using different alpha-substituted aldehydes and different substituents on the silicon. Tamao oxidation of the products resulted in formation of diols that are easily functionalized allowing an entry to natural products synthesis. The formal total synthesis of the muscarine alkaloids (-)-allomuscarine and (+)-epimuscarine was achieved.
