Abstract:<p>A dual
catalytic strategy enables the efficient synthesis of mono-protected
homoallylic 1,2-diols by coupling abundant aldehydes with simple (silyl) enol
ethers, thus providing direct access to this important motif without the
(super)stoichiometric use of prefunctionalized metal-allyl species. A variety
of silyl- and alkyl-based protecting groups is shown and functional group tolerance,
chemoselectivity and scalability are highlighted. </p>
