Oxidative desymmetrization of oxygen functionalized mesotetrahydrofurans was successfully achieved (up to 87% ee) through (salen)manganese(III) catalyzed enantiotopic selective C-H oxidation. The enantioselective synthesis of (-)-alloyohimbane (12) has also been achieved in a short step by using oxidative desymmetrization of meso-tetrahydrofuran as the key step.
