Aluminium triflate-mediated reactions of glycals: towards chiral multicyclic products

Ph.D. (Chemistry) === The bridged chiral benzopyrans were strategically ring opened via acetolysis to yield either galactose based chromenes or chromans, depending on the reaction conditions. A proposal relating to the mechanism of this selective ring opening acetolysis is discussed. The benzopyrans...
