Bis-pyranoside alkenes: Novel templates for the synthesis of adjacently linked tetrahydrofurans

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00651-X

Bis-pyranoside alkenes are used as templates for the convergent assembly of highly substituted, adjacently linked, tetrahydrofurans (THF's). The methodology centers on the stereoselective preparation of a bis-THF diol core structure.
