A stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-hydroxyalkyl moieties is described herein. These valuable building blocks are obtained with complete regiocontrol and excellent stereocontrol both for the syn or the anti products, by choosing the appropriate enantiomer of the ligand in a copper-catalyzed

The total synthesis of natural (4R,5R)-antillatoxin and its analog (4S,5S)-antillatoxin has been achieved; the optically pure key intermediates were prepared from indium mediated allylation of either primary or secondary allylic bromide with aldehyde in aquoues media, followed by highly selective

We report a simple, efficient, and general method for the indium-mediated enantioselective allylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and ketones under Barbier-type conditions in a one-pot synthesis affording the corresponding chiral alcohol products in very good yield (up to 99%)
