A protocol for general diastereoselective tandem dihydroxylation followed by SN2 cyclization was developed for the convenient and efficient synthesis of cis- and trans-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans from ζ-mesyloxy α,β-unsaturated esters. The application of this novel method was demonstrated through the concise formal synthesis of (+)-muconin, a nonclassical acetogenin, with sequential THP-THF ring formation.
