Tandem Prins/Wagner/Ritter Process for the Stereoselective Synthesis of (3-Oxabicyclo[4.2.0]octanyl)amide and (1-(5-Aryltetrahydrofuran-3-yl)cyclobutyl)amide Derivatives. -Three-component reaction of vinylcyclopropyl carbinol (I), aldehydes, and nitriles provides access to the novel oxabicyclooctanyl amides [cf. (IV), (VII)], whilst (1-vinylcyclobutyl)methanol (VII) gives cyclobutyltetrahydrofuran derivatives (IX) under similar conditions. Surprisingly, three-component reaction of carbinol (I) with MeCN and cinnamaldehyde furnishes alcohol (XI) instead of an expected amide. -(SUBBA REDDY*, B. V.; MURALIKRISHNA, K.; YADAV, J.
