Abstract
An efficient and stereodefined process is described for the preparation of a 3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran ring with the contiguous stereogenic centers and the asymmetric synthesis of 2-epigoniothalesdiol is also reported by featuring the elaboration of the functionalized homochira l lactone derived from C-2-imide.
