A one-pot diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-diols and 1,3,5-triols via cascade reactions of arylalkynyl Grignard reagents with enol esters:

An efficient cascade reaction has been developed to synthesize a series of 1,3-diols and 1,3,5-triols via reactions of arylalkynyl Grignard reagents with enol esters. The stereoselectivity of react...
