The racemate of (3 R ,4 S ,1′ E )‐3,4‐bis(1′‐butenyl)tetrahydro‐2‐furanol ( 1 ) was synthesized by employing Ireland's ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of (±)‐ 5 as the key step. The synthesis was efficient enough to provide 23.7 g of (±)‐ 1 in 41% overall yield based on (±)‐ 7 (8 steps) without having recourse to such a toxic solvent as HMPA in the key step.
