A general [4 + 1] cyclization reaction of carbonyl nucleophiles with 2-iodomethylallyl peroxides, which function as unique electrophilic oxygen synthons, for the synthesis of a broad range of 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans is achieved under operationally simple conditions. The unprecedented asymmetric version of such reaction is also realized via chiral auxiliary-assisted cyclization, thus providing a distinct approach to access chiral tetrahydrofurans with high diastereoselectivities. The new method can be applied to the synthesis of core structure of posaconazole drug.
