An efficient synthesis of 2-aryl-4-chloro-tetrahydropyrans has been achieved using FeCl3 as a promoter through a sequential oxidation/Prins cyclization, with benzyl chlorides and homoallylic alcohols as substrates, resulting in high yields. It is noteworthy that this is the first report on the use of benzyl chlorides as surrogates for aldehydes in the Prins cyclization.
