## Abstract Highly optically active 4βsubstitutedβ2(5__H__)βfuranones 6aβ6j were obtained in good yields with __de__β©Ύ98% by the tandem Michael addition/elimination reaction of chiral 3βbromoβ2(5__H__)βfuranone (4a), which was conveniently prepared starting from 2βfuraldehyde under mild conditions.
