Abstract

Cycloaddition of electron-rich chalcone epoxides with electron-rich olefins was efficiently catalyzed by tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate producing poly-substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives in high yield.

Key words

cation radical - cycloaddition - epoxides - tetrahydrofurans
