[GRAPHICS]The enantioselective syntheses of several protected syn-3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters have been achieved from the corresponding achiral 1,3-dieneoates, The route relies upon an enantio- and regioselective Sharpless dihydroxylation and a palladium-catalyzed reduction to form delta -hydroxy-1-enoates, The resulting delta -hydroxy-1-enoates are subsequently converted into benzylidene-protected 3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters in one step, The benzylidene-protected 3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters are produced in good overall yields (25% to 51%) and high enantiomeric excesses (80% to >95%).
