Enantiomerically enriched C2-symmetric tetrols were synthesised by a route involving a 'self-metathesis' reaction with Grubbs' second-generation ruthenium catalyst; these tetrols produced interesting bicyclic products when rearranged under acid
Asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydrofurans by competitive [1,2]-phenylsulfanyl (PhS) migrations under thermodynamic control

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.
