Abstract

Tri- and tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofuran rings can be prepared by phenylthio radical mediated addition of functionalized alkenes across the carbon-carbon bond of aryl substituted vinyl oxiranes. Studies designed both to delineate the scope and limitations and elucidate the mechanistic course of this process are described.
