The synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans from donor silylmethylcyclopropanes (without bearing an acceptor function) is described. Their further elaboration via a wide range of synthetic transformations is presented to highlight the potential of this method and the resulting THFs as potential scaffolds for diversity-oriented synthesis.

The use of donor-only silylmethylcyclopropanes in the Lewis acid promoted reaction with aldehydes to generate 2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans is described. The diastereoselectivity obtained in the product is very much dependent upon the temperature of the reaction.

The development of a Lewis acid-promoted aza-Prins reaction to form piperidines and pyrrolidines is described. Indium trichloride has been found to be a highly successful and mild Lewis acid for promoting this reaction. A thorough mechanistic investigation is described, including the factors that influence the formation of the 5- or 6-membered ring product(s).
