Abstract

Intramolecular C-C bond formation of oxygen- and nitrogen-tethered alkynes and epoxide mediated by Lewis acid under ambient conditions is described. A simple procedure for the synthesis of 3,6- and 5,6-dihydropyrans and 3,4-dehydropiperidines from acyclic building blocks in good yields without using any transition metal is shown.
