Abstract

Abstract Oxidation of hydroxy substituted phosphono allylic carbonates gave the aldehyde substituted phosphonates in good yield. Stereospecific palladium (0)-catalyzed cyclization in the presence of methanol or water gave acetal tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran vinyl phosphonate products derived from hemiacetal trapping. The tetrahydrofuran acetals undergo Lewis acid catalyzed addition of nucleophiles to give diastereoisomeric mixtures of substituted tetrahydrofurans.
