The THP and THF rings which are regarded as the characteristic structural features of mucocin ( 1 ) were constructed by a SmI 2 ‐induced reductive cyclization of β‐alkoxy acrylate and oxidative cyclization of a homoallyl alcohol, respectively. The key intermediates were synthesized through an efficient desymmetrization of a C 2 ‐symmetric tetraol.
