A Simple Preparation of Five-Carbon Chiral Allylic and Homoallylic Alcohol Synthons

Abstract
Five-carbon homoallylic and allylic alcohols 4, 5, and 6, potentially useful building blocks for the syntheses of a wide variety of optically active compounds, are prepared from chiral (S)-O-benzylglycidol (1) via the selective formation of the terminal and internal acetylenic intermediates 2 and 3.
