A single-pot three-component coupling reaction of silylglyoxylates (1), terminal alkynes, and aldehydes in the presence of ZnI2 and Et3N is presented. The products of the reaction, densely functionalized silyl-protected glycolate aldols (2), can be converted to the corresponding acetonides (3) in a one-pot deprotection/ketalization sequence. A variety of terminal alkynes and aldehydes can be successfully employed to give a range of highly functionalized, fully protected 1,2-diols in good yields ...[more]
