A catalyst repurposing strategy based on a sequential aldol addition and transferhydrogenation giving access to enantiomerically enriched α-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactones is described. The combination of a stereoselective, organocatalytic step, followed by an efficient catalytic aldehydereduction induces an ensuing lactonization to provide enantioenriched butyrolactones from readily available starting

Extensive studies of asymmetric cross-aldol addition between enolizablealdehydes are described and provide a deeper insight into histidine-catalyzed aldol additions. In particular, aspects of enantio- as well as diastereoselectivity of these reactions are discussed. Rules and predictions of configurative outcome are explained by using different transition-state models. These discussions are confirmed
