Abstract

A domino reaction has been developed for the synthesis of oxygen bridged bicyclic ethers through the coupling of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohex-3-enols with aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol% of molecular iodine in dichloromethane at 25 °C. This method is highly diastereoselective affording the corresponding bicyclic ethers, i.e. octahydro-4a,7-epoxyisochromenes in good yields with high selectivity. It is the first report on the synthesis of oxygen bridged bicyclic ethers using a domino Prins strategy.
