Cut it out! Convenient procedures have been delineated for the synthesis of optically active, functionalized 1,1-diaryl-ethanes by decarbonylation of β,β-diaryl-propionaldehydes. The process can be conducted as a one-pot 1,4-addition/decarbonylation sequence. Aldehydes are used as removable steering groups in this new strategy for the preparation of optically active building blocks. (Chemical Equation Presented)
