A facile and robust method to prepare 2-methyl-and 2,6-dimethyltetrahydropyrans, most useful Nicolaou intermediates for the synthesis of ladder-shaped polyethers, is disclosed. The established highly practical recipe, adopting chemo-and stereoselective catalytic oxidations and one-pot reactions with few chromatographic purifications, would significantly facilitate the large-scale supply of pivotal monocyclic building blocks, which is a rate-determining process of gigantic tetrahydropyran-containing natural products synthesis.
