Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of a 2‐substituted tetrahydropyran with adjacent alkoxy‐bearing stereogenic centre is described. The key steps of this synthesis were the stereoselective epoxidation of an allylic alcohol and the regioselective epoxide ring opening by lithium aluminum hydride. The regio and stereoselective synthesis of a trihydroxyselenide and a trihydroxysulfide is also described. The latter compounds are not suitable for cyclization to tetrahydrofuran ring.

## Abstract A variety of hydroxy epoxides have been obtained from well defined hydroxy‐alkenyl derivatives. Their subsequent intramolecular ring‐opening allowed unprecedented classes of spiro‐lactams to be obtained. The effect of the epoxide stereochemistry and of the reaction temperature on the re
