Serendipitous synthesis of 3-hydroxy tetrahydrofurans from tin catalyzed sulfonylation of acyclic 1,2,4-triols

The reaction of syn-1,2,4-triols under sulfonylation conditions catalyzed by Bu2SnO (5 mol %) results in cyclization and the formation of 3-hydroxy tetrahydrofurans (56–85%) while the anti-1,2,4-triols react to give C1-O-sulfonyl derivatives in good yields (66–83%) and the cyclization product in po...
