Abstract
The evolution of methods for carbonyl allylation and crotylation of alcohol proelectrophiles culminating in the design of iodide-bound ruthenium-JOSIPHOS catalysts is prefaced by a brief historical perspective on asymmetric carbonyl allylation and its relevance to polyketide construction. Using gaseous allene or butadiene as precursors to allyl- or crotylruthenium nucleophiles, respectively, new capabilities for carbonyl allylation and crotylation have been unlocked, including stereo- and site-selective methods for the allylation and crotylation of 1,3-diols and related polyols.
