Abstract

A highly enantioselective one-pot synthesis of linear homoallylic alcohols with terminal ester functionality has been achieved. The reactions were controlled by ordered addition of reagents and catalysts, ensuring complete consumption of aldehyde. The synthetic utility of this strategy has been demonstrated in a short synthesis of a low boiling point intermediate for grahamimycin A.
