Abstract
Complete reversal of diastereoselectivity was observed in the SmI 2-promoted ketyl-olefin coupling cyclizations of the hydroxy ketone or aldehyde and its acetate. For example, the stereodivergent synthesis of the epimeric five-membered-ring alcohols 2 and 4 has been accomplished through the SmI2-induced ketyl-olefin coupling cyclizations of the δ-hydroxy ketone 1 and δ-acetoxy ketone 3.
