Significance
A stereoselective and efficient electrochemical step involving a conversion of a furan derivative into an oxygenated dihydrofuran is reported. The step, which is part of an approach to the guanacastepene terpene class of natural products, proceeds via reductive reaction of a vinyl silyl ether and results in a dihydrofuran acetal which is poised for further transformation.
