Heterocycles are scafolds present in a wide variety of natural products with important medicinal properties. Among them, 6-, 7- and 8-membered heterocycles have attracted special attention due to their occurrence in bioactive compounds of great pharmacological interest. Consequently, a great number of scientifics have reported a variety of synthetic protocols to afford these substrates.

Within the known strategies, Prins cyclization has emerged as a very efficient tool to obtain heterocycles in a very stereoselective manner.[1,2]

Following our interest in the development of new approaches to the synthesis of heterocyclic structures, promoted by silicon-mediated cyclizations, we now present our recent results in the application of the silyl-Prins cyclization to the synthesis of different sized heterocycles (Scheme 1), including 6-, 7- and 8-membered derivatives.[3–5]
