A convergent route to the stereochemically same tetrasubstituted furan produced as a single stereoisomer has been developed in racemic form featuring the stereoselective hydrogenation of two types of hemiketal derivatives, which were prepared by nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagent in the presence of CeCl3 to the functionalized lactones with γ-stereochemistry different to each other.
