Optically active α-alkoxy-α-methyl-β-hydroxy ester derivatives are prepared startingfrom racemic α-alkoxy propionic acid ester derivatives by way of asymmetric aldol reaction of the corresponding achiral intermediates. (−)-2-C-Methyl-D-threono-1,4-lactone is conveniently synthesized by using this methodology.

Saccharinic acids, branched 2-C-methyl-aldonic acids, may be accessed via a green procedure from aldoses by sequential conversion to an Amadori ketose and treatment with calcium hydroxide; D-galactose and D-glucose are converted to 2-C-methyl-D-lyxono-1,4-lactone (with a small amount of 2-C-methyl-D-xylono-1,4-lactone) and 2-C-methyl-D-ribono-1,4-lactone. Inversion of configuration at C-4 of the branched lactones allows access to 2-C-methyl-L-ribono-1,4-lactone and 2-C-methyl-L-lyxono-1,4-lactone, respectively. D-Xylose affords 2-C-methyl-D-threono-1,4-lactone and 2-C-methyl-D-erythrono-1,4-lactone, whereas L-arabinose, under similar conditions, gave the enantioiners 2-C-methyl-L-lactone-1,4-lactone and 2-C-methyl-L-erythrono-1,4-lactone.

Enantioselective Synthesis of the a-Hydroxy-a-methyl-b-hydroxy Units via Asymmetric Aldol Reaction
The alpha-hydroxy-alpha-methyl-beta-hydroxy units are enantioselectively prepared by way of asymmetric aldol reactions between both achiral beta,beta-disubstituted silyl enolates and aldehydes. (-)-2-C-Methyl-D-threono-1,4-lactone is conveniently synthesized by using this reaction.
