Abstract

Successive treatment of 4, 5-epoxy-5-methyl-7-trimethylsilyl-6-heptyne-1-ol with Co₂(CO)₈ at 0 °C and a catalytic amount of BF₃·OEt₂ at −78 °C gave the tetrahydropyran derivatives with the cobalt-complexed moiety. Similarly 4, 5-epoxy-4-methyl-7-trimethylsilyl-6-heptyne-1-ol underwent ring closure under the above conditions to provide the corresponding tetrahydropyran derivatives. The preferential endo mode cyclization over the exo one was observed in these experiments.
