A simple and efficient substrate-controlled asymmetric synthesis of enantiopure tetrahydrofuran-3-ols by a 5-exo-trig radical cyclization is described. This cyclization occurs when a delta-carbon radical adds intramolecularly to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde. The delta-carbon radicals can be efficiently produced from the tin hydride mediated deselenenylation of 5-phenylseleno-3-oxapentanals, which were easily prepared starting from commercially available enantiopure epoxides or chlorohydrins.
