Organo cerium reagents in organic chemistry: General method of synthesis of alkyl substituted 1,3-diols by RLi-CeCl3 addition to β-hydroxyketones

Organocerium compounds (RLi-CeCl3) are able to transfer an alkyl group to the carbonylic function of a β-hydroxyketone giving alkyl substituted 1,3-diols in excellent yields. The use of these not sophisticated reagents is essential to depress u
