Abstract / Description of output

The Evans-Tishchenko reaction provides a highly diastereoselective route towards the synthesis of 1,3-anti diol monoesters, and therefore has found prominent use in a number of synthetic applications. This review summarizes recent applications of the Evans-Tishchenko reaction in natural product synthesis, and examines scope in terms of substrate range, functional group tolerance, and catalyst.
