Enantiomerically pure oligo(tetrahydrofurans) 17 and 18 have been prepared using an epoxide cascade reaction.The polyepoxide precursors 13 and 14 were synthesized using the enantiomerically pure epoxyorganolithium reagent 3.Thus, addition of 3 to the THF aldehyde 11 gave alcohol 12 with a high Cram selectivity of 95:5.
