Isoprenoid polyenes farnesyl acetate, geranylgeranyl acetate and squalene undergo oxidative polycyclization to bis-, tris-, and penta-tetrahydrofurane products, respectively, in the presence of catalytic amounts of RuO 4 (from RuO 2 •2H 2 O) and NaIO 4 as primary oxidant. The stereochemistry of the
