T. Shono et al., ELECTROREDUCTIVELY PROMOTED DIASTEREOSELECTIVE COUPLING OF KETONES WITH ALLYLIC ALCOHOLS - SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY-ACTIVE 1,4-DIOLS, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(2), 1994, pp. 273-275
Cathodic coupling of ketones with allylic alcohols has been found to t
ake place with high regio- and stereoselectivities at the position gam
ma to the hydroxyl group to afford the corresponding 1,4-diols.
