A new synthetic strategy for the regio- and stereo-specific SUMMARY: of heterosubstituted tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran synthesis systems involving intramolecular iodoetherification of 2,3-epoxy-cycloalkenols were stereochemical studied. Unambiguous assignments are available from X-ray studies. The realization of convergent total syntheses of the recently found toxic marine polyether macrolides,
