Abstract

A three-component, one-pot synthesis of 4-aryltetrahydropyrans from epoxides and homoallylic alcohols in arenes via Prins-Friedel-Crafts reaction, mediated by boron trifluoride etherate, has been developed. The reaction is diastereoselective and gives only all-cis diastereomers in moderate to good yields.
