The reduction of α-alkyl-β-hydroxy ketones is highly syn-selective if carried out in THF on their Ti-alcoholate complexes with LiBH4 or L-Selectride® or N-selectride® depending on the bulkiness of the group bound to the carbonyl group.
Dip in! A Rh/dippf catalyst generates aldehyde‐derived enol boranes at ambient temperature by isomerization of allyloxy‐ and homoallyloxyboranes. A one‐pot isomerization/cross‐aldol sequence provides aldehyde–aldehyde adducts in good yield with syn selectivity. Direct use of primary allylic and homoallylic alcohols was also achieved.
Rh-Catalyzed AldehydeAldehyde Cross-Aldol Reaction under Base-Free Conditions: In Situ Aldehyde-Derived Enolate Formation through Orthogonal Activation
The chemoselective generation of aldehyde‐derived enolates to realize an aldehydealdehyde cross‐aldol reaction is described. A combined Rh/dippf system efficiently promoted the isomerization/aldol sequence by using primary allylic, homoallylic, and bishomoallylic alcohols; secondary allylic and homoallylic alcohols; and trialkoxyboranes that were derivedfrom primary allylic and homoallylic alcohols
Reaction of primary or secondary 1,3-diols with dibenzoxazol-2-yl disulfide and tributylphosphine or triphenylphosphine selectively gave 2-(3-hydroxyalkylthio)benzoxazoles which, on treatment with KH, were converted into the corresponding thietanes. 2,2-Dibenzylthietane-1-oxide reacted with silylated purines and pyrimidines in the presence of TMSOTf and ZnI2 to give the corresponding thietane nucleosides in 17-69% yields.

Copper‐catalyzed highly stereospecific hydroboration of internal allylic alcohols using a silyl ether transient protection strategy is reported. This in situ protection effectively avoids the preferential side reaction of free hydroxyl group with boron reagent, thus promoting hydroboration. This method provides both the anti‐ and the syn‐ diastereomers of 1,3‐diols in high level of diastereomeric ratios
