development of an iron(III)-catalyzed coupling of thioesters with aliphatic organomanganese reagents. The good functional group tolerance resulted in successful transformation of a range of thioesters, including biologically relevant compounds. The presence of accessible β-hydrogen atom in the organomanganese reagent seems crucial for an effective catalyst activation. The liberated thiolate stabilizes the
significantly by the steric effect of bulky groups. However, the influence of steric alkylchain length has not been studied for the diastereoselectivity. In this work, we present a new strategy for the racemic synthesis of β-methyl alcohols to obtain various diastereomer ratios using the Felkin–Anh model. The addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to α-methyl aldehydes afforded diastereomer ratios of threo/erythro
