The epi-Matteson Reaction: Addition of Sodium Iodide in the Substitution Step Allows for a Stereodivergent Outcome.

The product of a Matteson homologation sequence is determined by the chiral director. Upon iterative application, this limits stereochemical variability. In this work, a method for the stereodivergent synthesis of alkyl-substituted Matteson products…
