description

The intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition reactions of a series of 3-OR (R=SiMe3, H, CHO, Me) substituted β-hydroxy-γ-pyrones bearing tethered alkenes were studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6–31G* level. The role of the transfer R group was analyzed considering two alternative channels: (i) in channel a the process is initialized by the transfer of the R group with formation of an oxidopyrylium ylide intermediate, which is followed of an intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition; (ii) in channel b, the process is initialized by the intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition on the γ-pyrone followed by the transfer of the R group.
