(12) 1-((2R,3R,6S)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-6-phenyl-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)ethanone.

In accordance with another aspect thereof, the present invention pertains to a method for preparing the tetrahydropyran derivatives, as illustrated by the following Reaction Scheme 1, by reacting homopropargylic alcohol derivatives 2 with aldehyde compounds 3 in the presence of a Lewis acid:

wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined in Chemical Formula 1, and Compounds 1a and 1b fall within the range of the compounds of Chemical Formula 1.

In the first step of Reaction Scheme 1, a homopropargylic alcohol derivative represented by Chemical Formula 2 and an aldehyde compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 are subjected to a Prins reaction in the presence of a Lewis acid to afford a dihydropyran-3-ylidene triflate compound represented by Chemical Formula 1a.

Preferable as a Lewis acid for use in the Prins reaction is trimethylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf). The Lewis acid is used in an amount from 1 to 4 equivalents based on the equivalent of the homopropargylic alcohol derivative of Chemical Formula 2 and preferably in an amount from 2.5 to 3.5 equivalents. The solvent useful in the Prins reaction may be a typical organic one and may preferably be dichloromethane. During the Prins reaction, reaction temperature may be preferably maintained within a range from −78° C. to 30° C.; the Prins reaction may be well conducted at room temperature. The reaction is preferably conducted over 3 to 5 hours.

The method according to the present invention may further comprise, as illustrated in Reaction Scheme 1, hydrolyzing the dihydropyran-3-ylidene triflate compound represented by Chemical Formula 1a into a tetrahydropyran compound represented by Chemical Formula 1b.

This hydrolysis reaction is typically conducted in an acid or alkali condition. The same typical organic solvent as used in the Prins reaction may be used, and preferably dichloromethane. For the hydrolysis reaction, the reaction temperature is maintained within a range from 0 to 30° C. Likewise, the hydrolysis is well conducted at room temperature. A time period of from 1 to 3 hours is preferably given for the hydrolysis reaction.

In cooperation with a Prins reaction, as described above, the orientation of the starting material determines the configuration of the 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran derivatives such as cis-2,6-dihydropyran-3-ylidene triflate compounds, and their hydrolysates such as cis-2,3,6-tetrahydropyran derivatives. In addition, the Prins cyclization of the present invention is relatively simple and highly stereoselective, and requires such mild reaction conditions that it can be used for synthesizing chiral compounds. Therefore, the tetrahydropyran derivatives of the present invention find useful applications in the medical industry and the fine chemical industry, where they are useful as intermediates for use in the synthesis and development of therapeutically effective, novel drugs of high stereoselectivity.

A better understanding of the present invention may be obtained through the following examples which are set forth to illustrate, but are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 8.18 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.58 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.27-7.43 (m, 7H), 4.84 (d, 1H, J=9.9 Hz), 4.61 (d, 1H, J=11.2 Hz), 2.86-2.90 (m, 1H), 2.11-2.25 (m, 1H), 1.98-2.10 (m, 2H), 1.87 (s, 3H), 1.74-1.82 (m, 1H)

Based on a tetrahydropyran moiety with two or more cis-substituents, as described hitherto, the tetrahydropyran compounds, represented by Chemical Formula 1, according to the present invention can be useful as intermediates for use in the synthesis and development of therapeutically effective, novel drugs of high stereoselectivity. Also, they can be easily prepared using the preparation method according to the present invention.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
