A stereoselective synthesis of the biologically interesting γ-monofluorinated goniothalamin analogue 2a was described. The features of the synthesis included regioselective reduction of the unprotected hydroxypropynyl moiety of compound 10 by Red-Al, asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation of allyl alcohol 11, and regio- and stereoselectivering-opening hydrofluorination of the hydroxypropynyl epoxide 14
