A new asymmetric radical cyclization of optically pure ß-alkoxy vinyl sulfoxides afforded various tetrahydrofuran derivatives in high yields with good to excellent diastereoselectivities. The sense of chiral induction depended on the configuration of the double bond of the vinyl sulfoxide which reacted in the s-trans conformation during the cyclization.
