An efficient and stereocontrolled synthesis of 2-substituted tetrahydrofurans has been achieved. The approach employs the asymmetric reduction of γ-phenylseleno ketones obtained by three different procedures that are peculiarly applied to the synthesis of such compounds. Finally, the intramolecular substitution of the phenylselenone residue by the oxygen atom of a hydroxy group gives the tetrahydrofuran ring.

Abstract
An efficient and stereocontrolled synthesis of 2-substituted tetrahydrofurans has been achieved. The approach employs the asymmetric reduction of γ-phenylseleno ketones obtained by three different procedures that are peculiarly applied to the synthesis of such compounds. Finally, the intramolecular substitution of the phenylselenone residue by the oxygen atom of a hydroxy group gives the tetrahydrofuran ring.File in questo prodotto:
