An efficient protocol for C-H arylation of 1-benzyl-5-phenyl-1H- tetrazole has been developed which involves an extremely small amount of commercially available [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) (Ru: 0.63 mol%) and a specific amount ...
A rational strategy for accessing tetrahydroxy compounds in predictable stereoselective fashion from di-O-benzyl protected tartrate is presented. Up to four different aromatic, aliphatic, and vinyl substituents could be ...
