Abstract
The tributyltin hydride-mediated cyclisation of unsaturated ethers bearing an aldehyde or alpha,beta -unsaturated ketone group is reported. Cyclisation proceeds via addition of the tributyltin radical to the carbonyl double bond and the resultant O-stannyl ketyl can add intramolecularly to electron-rich double bonds to form hydroxy tetrahydrofurans, chromanols or related compounds.
