We describe a practical route to anti-5-substituted 4-hydroxyalkyltetrahydrofuran-2-ones via the stereoselective photochemically mediated addition of alcohols to (5R)- and (5S)-5-substituted furan-2(5H)-ones. These products have been converted into stereochemically defined 4-substituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones, which are potential intermediates for the synthesis of chrysanthemic acids and other cyclopropyl compounds. In addition, the adducts can be converted into 3-substituted 2,3-dideoxynucleosides.
