A highly diastereoselective annulation strategy for the synthesis of alicyclic ketones from diols and pentamethylacetophenone is described. This process is mediated by a commercially available iridium(III) catalyst, and provides efficient access to a wide range of cyclopentane and cyclohexane products with high levels of stereoselectivity. The origins of diastereoselectivity in the annulation reaction
