β¦ Synopsis
The effect of various Lewis acids on the samarium diiodide other aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes syn-stereoselectivity was generally observed. Chiral Ξ±-alkylaldehydes allowed for promoted pinacol homocoupling of aldehydes was investigated. The reaction of benzaldehyde proceeded with an almost complete stereocontrol favoring syn-1,2-diols. fair to good 1,2-anti-stereoselectivity, while in the case of
