The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of hexahydro-furofuran-3-ol, a key fragment of HIV protease inhibitors, is reported. A signature event is represented by the sequential metal catalysis that combines the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkoxylation of ene-alkoxyallene and ring-closing metathesis (RCM). Notably, this unprecedented and highly chemoselective approach allows for a unified access to pyranofuranol and furopyranol derivatives.
