Abstract
Reduction of a series of beta-hydroxyketones by SmI2/H2O/Et3N provided 1,3-diols in quantitative yields. The reactions were exceedingly clean with no byproduct formation, negating the need for further purification. Most reactions provided moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity with syn-diols as the major isomer in most instances.Entities:
