Solvent-free catalysed synthesis of tetrahydropyran odorants: the role of SiO

An efficient, green and solvent-free catalysed Prins-cyclization reaction based on the simple grinding of an aldehyde and a homoallylic alcohol in the presence of catalytic amount of p-TSA on silica gel is reported. By this protocol were synthesized tetrahydropyran odorants including commercial Florol® and Clarycet®, in one and two steps respectively.
