Abstract

AbstractA novel method for the synthesis of a wide range of functionalized 1,3‐diol derivatives is reported. Employing a copper‐catalyzed oxy‐alkenylation strategy, a range of readily available, substituted homoallylic alcohol derivatives and alkenyl(aryl) iodonium salts combine to form syn‐1,3‐carbonates in excellent yield and with high selectivity. Furthermore, the products formed are amenable to an iterative reaction sequence, thus affording highly complex polyketide‐like fragments.
