摘要
An efficient, step-economical, and scalable approach to the synthesis of polypropionate stereotriads has been developed. Either 2-butyne or propyne is subjected to rhodium-catalyzed silylformylation and in situ crotylation of the resulting aldehydes. Tamao oxidation under either "standard" conditions or "aprotic" conditions then delivers the completed stereotriads in a three-step, two-pot sequence. In contrast to the classical Roche ester approach, the alpha-stereocenter is obtained for "free."
