Manganese-mediated reactions in aqueous media: chemoselective allylation and pinacol coupling of aryl aldehydes

摘要

The pursuit of synthetic targets with increasing com- plexity has resulted in the development of reactions which emphasize chemo-, regio-, regio-, diastereo-, and enanti- oselectivity. In defining strategies and reactions to construct complex molecules, chemoselectivity is re- quired. Metal-mediated carbonyl addition generally has a low chemoselectivity among different carbonyls.
