A one‐pot synthesis of β‐hydroxyketones has been achieved by the reductive aldol reaction of enones and aldehydes in the presence of Et 3 SiH and a catalytic amount of InBr 3 (see scheme). The reaction is highly diastereoselective and no reduction of the starting aldehydes occurs. This method is superior to conventional reductive aldol reactions in terms of applicability to a wide range of enones and aldehydes.
