Pyrones to Pyrans: Enantioselective Radical Additions to Acyloxy Pyrones

摘要

This manuscript describes a highly site, diastereo-, and enantioselective intermolecular radical addition/hydrogen atom transfer to hydroxypyrones pyromeconic and kojic acids. The methodology can be extended to the formation of chiral quaternary centers. The products obtained are densely functionalized pyran moieties. The products contain structural features amenable for the introduction of additional substituents.
