title: Diastereoselective synthesis of cyclopentanediols by InCl 3/Al mediated intramolecular pinacol coupling reaction in aqueous media.
abstract: A "green" and practical intramolecular pinacol coupling reaction promoted by InCl 3/Al catalysts in aqueous media has been developed. Under mild conditions, a novel class of polysubstituted cyclopentane-1,2-diols have been obtained with excellent diastereoselectivity.
