A strategy for the synthesis of differentiated vicinal tertiary diols is described. The key step is a high-yielding, diastereoselective LaCl 3·2LiCl-mediated addition of a Grignard or organolithium reagent to ketone 2a. The reaction is believed to proceed via a 1,3-chelated intermediate. One of the adducts has been transformed into a functionalized cyclopentenone resembling the core structure of pactamycin.
