✦ Synopsis
The organoselenium-mediated reduction of ct,B-epoxy ketones has been demonstrated
to be a promising entry to a variety of cyclic and acyclic aldols.
The synthetic potential of aldols as key intermediates in organic synthesis, inter alia natural products chemistry, has been increased by recent progress in the directed aldol reactions, 1 as well as new developments in the reduction of a,@-epoxy ketones. 2 Particularly, the latter method has gained importance since it allows access into not only acyclic (intermolecular) aldols but also a variety of cyclic (intramolecular) aldols which may be difficult to obtain by the traditional aldol reactions.
