Abstract
The vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol (VMA) reaction allows efficient access to larger segments for complex natural product synthesis, primarily polyketides, through the construction of vicinal hydroxyl and methyl groups as well as di‐ and tri‐substituted double bonds in a single operation. In this chapter, the current scope and limitations of this transformation, as well as its application in natural product synthesis, are discussed.
