Abstract
A procedure is described for the in situ generation of functional equivalents of glutaric, succinic, and malonic dialdehydes. DIBAL-H reduction of the corresponding 1,n-dioates followed by in situ addition of a nucleophilic trapping agent allows for one-pot, bidirectional homologation. Olefination and Grignard addition classes of reactions are specifically demonstrated.
