The stereoselective synthesis of the common C8-C18 THF fragment of pectenotoxins is reported. The THF ring was constructed by the ring closure of the epoxide possessing all six asymmetric centers with a 5-exo-mode. These stereogenic centers were arranged successively from the enantiomerically active epoxide by utilizing the stereo-differentiating influence of the proximal functional groups.
