Asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydrofurans (THF) by competitive [1,2]-phenylsulfanyl (PhS) migrations under thermodynamic control was discussed. Triols were prepared in enantiomerically enriched form by a short route that included a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. Treatment of these triols with toluene-p-sulfonic acid gave THFs as thermodynamic products.
