Abstract

Furans bearing epoxy enolsilane units via a tether that incorporates a nitrogen heteroatom, undergo intramolecular (4 + 3) cycloadditions to generate bis-heteroatomic polycyclic adducts having piperidine moieties in their frameworks. The cycloadducts, ultimately derived from furfural, a renewal chemical feedstock, are obtained with up to 4:1 dr and with ee retained from the epoxide.
