Functionalized cis-2,5-, trans-2,4-, and trans-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans were efficiently and highly stereoselectively synthesized from the corresponding 5,6-disubstituted 4-penten-1-ols using tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) and catalytic amounts of vanadium(V)-Schiff base complexes prepared in situ.
