One-Pot Synthesis of Substituted Homoallylic Alcohols (3-Alkenols) and 1-Deuterio-3-alkenols; II. Extension to Ketone Enolates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1987-27933

The reaction of different lithium ketone enolates with α-chloro carbonyl compounds followed by in situ reduction with lithium aluminium hydride or deuteride and final lithiation with lithium powder leads to the corresponding homoallylic or 1-deuterio homoallylic alcohols in a regioselective manner.
