(Chemical Equation Presented) A formal [3 + 2]-cycloaddition involving the Lewis acid mediated reaction of α-silyloxy aldehydes and styrenes to afford 3-alkyl-2-aryltetrahydrofuran-4-ols has been developed. This methodology was applied to the total synthesis of the naturally occurring furofuran lignan (±)-paulownin.
