Abstract

Summary: Addition of the enol borates 2 to aldehydes generated the internally protected aldols 3. These were subjected in situ to an ally1 metal addition giving the 1, 3-diols 7 or 13. This constitutes a rapid evolution of a carbon skeleton by a highly co&elaGd tandem aldol- addition/ally1 metal addition.
