Abstract
A remarkable example of inverse-temperature-dependent diastereoselectivity was uncovered while investigating the addition of Grignard reagents to a 3-hydroxytetrahydrofurfural. The free hydroxyl group in the tetrahydrofurfural was found to play a key role in these processes, a result corroborated through a series of DFT calculations that also highlighted an entropic preference for the formation of one diastereomer
