Abstract
In the presence of catalytic amounts of PtCl2 and AgX (X = OTf or SbF6 ), (Z )-6-trimethylsilyl-5-hexen-1-ol and (Z )-5-trimethylsilyl-4-penten-1-ol reacted smoothly with aldehydes to give 2,3-disubstituted
tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans, respectively, in good to high yields. The reaction
mechanism involves the isomerization of the starting vinylsilanes to the corresponding
allylsilanes and subsequence Prins-type annulation with aldehydes.
Key words
aldehydes - annulations - catalysis - silicon - tandem reactions

As a preliminary result, we found that the PtCl2 -catalyzed (5 mol%) reaction of 2 with 3e gave 4e (45 °C, 24 h, 24% yield) although the conditions were not optimized.

For the origin of stereoselective formation of trans -4 and cis -8 , see ref. 3b,f and ref. 3a, respectively.
<A NAME="RU27305ST-11">11 </A> Vinylsilanes (Z )-1 and (Z )-7 can easily be prepared from 4-pentyn-1-ol and 5-hexyn-1-ol, respectively, which are
commercially available. See:
