Diastereoselective Ce(OiPr)3-Catalyzed Pinacol Couplings of Aldehydes

Aliphatic aldehydes as well as aromatic aldehydes can be converted by means of cerium‐catalyzed pinacol coupling [Eq. (1)]. The coupling reaction products can be isolated with good to very good diastereoselectivities in favor of rac isomers (rac:meso>88:12). R=alkyl, aryl.
