A pentenyl dianion-based strategy for convergent synthesis of ene-1,5-diols

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Mar 23;127(11):3694-5. doi: 10.1021/ja050039+.

Abstract

A convergent two-step process is described for the synthesis of ene-1,5-diols that provides for union of two carbonyl electrophiles via a formal pentenyl dianion equivalent.
