Organocatalytic enantio- and diastereoselective cycloetherification via dynamic kinetic resolution of chiral cyanohydrins
Enantioselective synthesis of six-membered oxacycles with multiple stereogenic centres is essential for the discovery of new therapeutic agents. Here the authors show organocatalytic cycloetherification for the highly enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrans.
