The development of a stereospecific hydroxymethylation of alkyl tosylates using an inexpensive, first-row catalyst is described. The transformation proceeds under mild conditions with low pressure to deliver homologated alcohols as products. Chiral, nonracemic β-branched primary alcohols are obtained with high enantiospecificity from easily accessed secondary alkyl substrates. Simple modification of the reaction system also permits access to α-<i>d</i><sub>2</sub> alcohols. These studies use ani ...[more]
