Abstract

Optically active 4‐hydroxytetrahydrofuran‐2‐one (3) has been synthesized in good yield from optically active ethyl 4‐chloro‐3‐hydroxybutanoate (2) by refluxing with dilute hydrochloric acid. In a similar manner, optically active 3‐hydroxytetrahydrofuran (5) was prepared from optically active 4‐chloro‐1,3‐butanediol (4), which was derived from 2 by NaBH~4~ reduction. These new cyclizations proceed without racemization.
