30. Oshima et al. also described the oxidative coupling of allyl alcohols and vinyl ethers to produce tetrahydrofuran derivatives (ref 8). While the present work was in progress, the groups of Morken and Hosokawa reported important advances in reactions of allyl alcohols, including diastereoselective transformations and catalytic aerobic oxidation procedures, respectively.
