Iterative catalyst controlled diastereodivergent synthesis of polypropionates.

The use of an appropriate chiral ligand for each catalytic reaction allows access to 1,2-hydroxymethyl arrays with good to excellent control over the relative and absolute configuration of the different stereocenters.eng© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016Iterative catalyst controlled diastereodivergent synthesis of polypropionatesjournal article10.1039/c6qo00199h2052-4129open access
