Alcohols are one of the most basic and important classes of organic compounds because they have a wide variety of uses in industrial and laboratory chemistry. Although a huge number of methods for the synthesis of alcohols are known,12 the synthesis of a variety of alcohols having intricate structures through alkylation of simple alcohols usually requires tedious processes using many reagents. For example,
-alkylation of a secondary alcohol can usually be accomplished via three-step transformations (oxidation,3 alkylation,4 and reduction2,5)
