Boron enolates of an ethyl ketone structurally related to erythrulose react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective fashion to yield 1,2-sqn/1,3-syn stereoisomers. Oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts yields enantiopure O-formylated syn-alpha-methyl-beta-hydroxy esters, easily cleaved to the corresponding hydroxyl-free compounds. The aforementioned ketone behaves therefore as a chiral propionate enolate equivalent. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
