R,5R)-3-((tert-Butyldimethylsily)oxy)-5-((Z)-2-bromovinyl)-tetrahydro-furan-2-one, an intermediate for the synthesis of Fostriecin was achieved by intramolecular asymmetric induction in propene addition of (-)-8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate followed by inversion of C3-hydroxyl group and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation with simultaneous cyclization to give lactone 5. Then protection of C3-hydroxyl group and oxidation of the C6-primary hydroxyl group which reacted with Wittig reagent to yield the target compound 4.
