Controlled addition of Grignard reagents to tartaricacid derived bis-Weinreb amide 3 provides a facile, direct entry to desymmetrized 1,4-functionalized-syn-2,3-diol intermediates 4 and to C2-symmetrical 1,4-diketones 5. The synthetic versatility of this method is exemplified by short syntheses of the natural plant growth regulator 10 and the synthetically valuable cyclooctene derivative 13.
