A catalytic pinacol-type reductive rearrangement reaction of internal 1,2-diols is reported herein. Several scaffolds not usually amenable to pinacol-type reactions, such as aliphatic secondary–secondary diols, undergo the transformation well without the need for prefunctionalization. The reaction uses a simple boron catalyst and two silanes and proceeds through a concerted, stereoinvertive mechanism that enables the preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched products. Computational studies have been used to rationalize the preference for migration over direct deoxygenation.

A practical synthesis of (E)-2-cyclopentadecen-1-one (E)-2 which is an important precursor of macrocyclic muscone (1) was investigated. Olefination of 2-mesyloxycyclopentadecanone (7c) with strong acid such as sulfuric acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid afforded the desired (E)-2 in high yield with extremely high stereoselectivity, which was treated with methylmagnesium cuprate to furnish the dl-muscone in good yield.
