Stereocomplementary construction of 2-ethynyl-3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran derivatives via endo-mode ring closure of 3,4-epoxy-6-substitutedhex-5-yn-1-ols

Abstract
Treatment of 3,4-epoxy-6-substitutedhex-5-yn-1-ols with BF3·OEt2 gave the endo-mode cyclization products with inversion of stereochemistry, whereas conversion of the epoxides to the corresponding hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes, followed by Lewis-acid treatment provided the endo-mode products with retention of configuration at the newly formed stereogenic centre.
