Significance
Tetrahydropyran-4-ones were synthesized with high diastereoselectivity using a scandium(III) triflate-catalyzed cyclization between an aldehyde and β-hydroxydioxinones. Either the dioxinone intermediate could be isolated or direct addition of an alkoxide would generate the 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-one. Aromatic and aliphatic substituents including α-branched aldehydes were tolerated. A variety of substituents on the dioxinone were also explored.
