Pick one out of three: Acyclic and cyclic 1,2,3‐triols are silylated with exceptional site‐ and enantioselectivity by a small‐molecule catalyst to afford silyl ethers having a neighboring diol moiety. The new process is applied to the enantioselectivetotalsyntheses of three cleroindicins, natural products isolated from a plant used in China to battle malaria and rheumatism.
