The stereochemistry of addition of lithiumenolates to the α,β-epoxyaldehydes 1z–3 has been investigated. Moderate to high diastereoselectivity (up to 13:1) is obtained in favour of the anti isomer, which is explained by the Felkin-Anh model for asymmetric induction.
The Lewis acid mediated aldol reaction of chiral alpha, beta-cis and trans epoxyaldehydes 1 and 2 with tert-butyl ketene silyl acetal proceeds mainly with anti diastereofacial preference. The best results were obtained for cis epoxyaldehyde 1 in the presence of catalytic amounts of BiCl3 . 1.5 eq. ZnI2 (anti:syn similar to 13:1), whereas the poorest stereoselectivity was observed when an excess of LiClO4 was used (anti:syn similar to 1:1) The more stable epoxyaldehyde conformers were determined and the diastereofacial preference was found to be in agreement with a nucleophilic attack on the energetically more favoured conformers.

The Mukaiyama aldolisation reaction in aqueous media of cis and trans alpha,beta-epoxyaldehydes with tert-butyldimethylsilyl ketene acetal in the presence of Lewis's acids was studied. Sc(OTf)(3) gave the best results in terms of selectivity. The same reaction of cis and trans alpha., beta-epoxyaldehydes with the enoxysilane of ethyl pyruvate resulted in epoxy Substituted ulosonic derivatives issued from a double sequential condensation of the pyruvate on the epoxy derivatives.

Diastereoface differentiation in addition of lithium enolates to chiral α,β-epoxyaldehydes
aldolisation reaction of lithium ester enolates with chiral α,β-epoxyaldehydes 2a–2f has been investigated. The reaction proceeds with diastereofacial preference in favour of the anti isomer (anti:syn ≈ 4:1) and can be greatly enhanced in the case of cis α,β-epoxy-aldehydes 2a–2c by a synergic effect of temperature and enolate excess (anti:syn 13:1). The Felkin-Ahn model can explain the results obtained
The γ,δ-epoxy β-hydroxyestes obtained by diastereoselective aldolisation beetwen ester enolates and optically active α,β-epoxyaldehydes, undergo quantitative stereocontrolled lactonisation which can be followed by reduction to provide 2-deoxy hexofuranosides.
