Synthesis of 2,2,5-Trisubstituted Tetrahydrofurans by Ferrocenium-Catalyzed Dehydrative Diol Cyclization Reactions

A ferrocenium-catalyzed synthesis of trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans by dehydrative cyclization of diols is reported. Treatment of γ-phenyl-γ-butyrolactone or valerolactone with 2–3 equivalents of MeLi, <i>n</i>-BuLi, or PhLi yielded the corresponding substituted 1,4-butanediols in 41–86...
