title: Practical designed syntheses of all stereoisomeric bis(2,2')- and tris(2,2',2' ')-tetrahydrofurans.
abstract: A convenient synthetic entry to the entire group of bis(2,2')- and tris(2,2',2' ')-tetrahydrofurans has been developed. The method is concise and relies on chromatographic separation, decarbonylation, and annulation to arrive at a specific product of defined relative configuration. [reaction: see text]
