Popis: Phosphomolybdic acid (H 3 PMo 12 O 40 , a heteropoly acid) is found to catalyze efficiently the Prins cyclization of homoallylic alcohols with aldehydes in water at room temperature to provide tetrahydropyran-4-ol derivatives in high yields with all CIS-selectivity. Only cyclic ketones can give spirocyclic products. The use of phosphomolybdic acid in water makes this procedure simple, more convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
