Abstract
The stereochemical course of the SmI2-induced intermolecular reductive couplings of the β-hydroxy aldehyde 1 and the β-hydroxy ketone 4 is completely stereocontrolled by chelation of the Sm(III) cations attached to the resulting ketyl radicals with the β-hydroxyl groups providing the anti-1,3-diols 2 and 5, respectively.Keywords
