Group-selective hydroalumination: a novel route to stereogenic tert-alcohol centers.
[reaction: see text]. A new group-selective reaction is described, that is, the hydroalumination of bis-alkynyl alcohols armed with an adjacent stereogenic center, giving stereo-defined tert-alcohols of potential utility in natural product synthesis.
