K1 Stereoselective Synthesis K1 Evans Aldol−Prins Strategy K1 Tetrahydropyrans AB A direct and general method for the synthesis of naturally occurring 2,3,4,5,6-pentasubstituted tetrahydropyrans has been developed, employing β,γ-unsaturated Nacyl oxazolidin-2-ones as key starting materials. The combination of the Evans aldoladdition and the Prins cyclization allowed the diastereoselective and efficient generationof the desired oxacycles in two fashions: a one-pot Evans aldol-Prins protocol, in whichfive new σ bonds and five contiguous stereocenters were straightforwardly generated,and a two-steps version, which additionally permitted the isolation of precursors β,γunsaturated alcohols bearing an N-acyl oxazolidin-2-one in the α position. From thesealcohols were also obtained halogenated pentasubstituted tetrahydropyrans as well as2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans, shedding light on the mechanism of theprocess. Computational studies were consistent with the experimental findings, and thisinnovative Evans aldol-Prins strategy conducted to the preparation of a battery of morethan 30 densely substituted tetrahydropyrans, unprecedentedly fused to a 1,3-oxazinane2,4-dione ring, both in a racemic and in a enantiomeric fashion. These novel moleculeswere successfully submitted to several transformations to permit a simple access to avariety of differently functionalized tetrahydropyrans. Most of these unique moleculeswere evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negativebacteria and the yeast Candida albicans and some structure/activity relationships wereestablished.
