Boron 4-methoxy-2-furanolates generated in situ from 5-unsubstituted and 5-
monosubstituted 4-O-methyl tetronates undergo highly regioselective 3-hydro
xyalkylations with aldehydes to give 5-unsubstituted and 5-monosubstituted
3-acyl-4-O-methyl tetronates, respectively, in good overall yields after ox
idation of the intermediate alcohols with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid.
