Four tetrahydrofuran rings in one step can be constructed with the multiple five‐mem‐bered‐ring‐selective Williamson reaction ( 1 → 2 ). The tetratosylate 1 is obtained from the corresponding dialkyne by a reagent‐controlled, diastereoselective dihy‐droxylation. This reaction sequence opens up an efficient route to enantiomerically pure oligo(tetrahydrofuran)s.
