Chiral glyceraldehydes have been exploited for the design of convenient and scalable synthetic approaches to chiral tetrahydrofurans, which have potential as potent 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors. The synthesis of all four possible stereoisomers by a general methodology is reported; wherein the chirons derived from the glyceraldehyde derivatives on reaction with homopropargyl ether, cyclization and further reactions gave the targets.
