The addition of acyl radicals to α,β‐unsaturated esters, followed by acetalization and reduction of the resulting hemiacetal was shown to provide a straightforward access to tetrahydrofurans, and fused tetrahydrofuran–lactones in good yield with high 1,3‐stereocontrol. Similar addition reactions to five‐ and six‐membered‐ring α‐methylenelactones led to trisubstituted lactones with high diastereocontrol, using (Me3Si)3SiH as hydrogen‐atom‐transfer agent. This strategy was applied to the first total synthesis of (+)‐No. 2106 A, a fused THF–lactone produced by an endophytic fungus isolated from the seeds of the mangrove Avicennia marina.
