We describe here the syntheses of optically pure (3a<i>S</i>,4<i>S</i>,7a<i>R</i>)-hexahydro-4<i>H</i>-furo[2,3-<i>b</i>]pyran-4-ol and (3a<i>R</i>,4<i>R</i>,7a<i>S</i>)-hexahydro-4<i>H</i>-furo[2,3-<i>b</i>]pyran-4-ol. These stereochemically defined heterocycles are important high-affinity P2 ligands for a variety of highly potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors. The key steps involve an efficient Paternò-Büchi [2 + 2] photocycloaddition, catalytic hydrogenation, acid-catalyzed cyclization to form th ...[more]
