โฆ Synopsis
Alkylcerium reagents and hydride ions add to multiple bonds of homoallyl alcohols under mild conditions, leading to saturated alcohols in good yields.

Organocerium reagents, prepared from organolithiums and anhydrous cerium (III) chloride, react cleanly with easily enolizable ketones to afford the addition products in good to excellent yields. The nucleophilic addition of Grignard or lithium reagents to carbonyl compounds is undoubtedly one of the
Chiral non-racemic 4-and 5-oxazolidonecarbaldehydes, typified by 2 and 7, react highly diastereoselectively with organocerium reagents to give moderate to good yields of syn-and anti-alcohols, respectively. Rationalizations for the observed diastereoselectivities are presented. The synthetic potenti
