Construction of the tetrahydrofuran ring part of polycavernoside A, which has been isolated as one of toxic principles from the red alga Polycavernosa tsudai, is described starting from 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol.The synthesis involves the Sharpless epoxidation and the Evans procedure for introduction of the three chiral centers.
