In order to prepare more efficiently key 1,3-diol fragments, we have devised a base-promoted redox-neutral condensation of ketones with alcohols. This diastereoselective alcohol-aldolization enables bypassing the classical oxidation and reduction steps necessary for the preparation of this crucial backbone by an overall redox-neutral formal borrowing hydrogen process. The starting alcohols constitute both the precursors of the in situ generated reactive aldehydes and the hydride source necessary for the chemoselective reduction of the a
