a The reactions were carried out at 2 mmol scale. b The yields refer to those of isolated pure<br />

isomers. c The isomeric ratios were determined from the isolated yields. d The reactions<br />

were carried out under ultrasonication. e NR: no reaction.<br />

Mechanism of the reaction. Although an α- or a β-oxygenation in carbonyl compounds is<br />

reported to be most effective for chelation to the metals, 136 the aldehyde 1 gave<br />

predominantly 4,5-anti-diols with both In and Ga. This indicated that due to the bulky<br />

cyclohexanedioxy group in 1 precluded any chelation control in the reaction. The results<br />
