However, the diastereoselectivities of pinacols were not satisfying, and most aliphatic aldehydes and diaryl ketones have been found to be unreactive under the same conditions.展开更多

The reaction is highly effective in water in the presence of KOH or HCl and was strongly affected by the steric environment surrounding the carbonyl group. Aliphatic aldehydes, ketones and aromatic ketones appear inert under the same reaction conditions.展开更多
