Hydroxyl-Directed Stereocomplementary Pinacol Cyclizations Mediated by SmI2

Abstract
The decalin rings were cyclized with complete stereocontrol about the new chiral centers through the hydroxyl-directed pinacol couplings promoted by SmI2. In these annulation reactions, stereocomplementarity was observed depending on the absence or presence of HMPA.
