The tetrahydropyranic fraction from the cyclization of geranyl acetate with phenylselenenic acid has only two racemic diastereoisomers that were separated as their hydroxyderivatives 7 and 8. The establishment of the stereochemistry for both pairs of diastereoisomers is reported as well as the transformation of 7 and 8 into a unique racemic dihydropyrane 4, a precursor of β-pyrones. A mechanism for the regio-stereoselective cyclization is proposed.
