Chiraloxazolines, as their boron enolates derived from various boron triflates, react with aldehydes to give erythro-selectivity (97% + %) with enantiomeric purities of 50–60%. Achiral oxazolines as their boron enolates derived from diisopinocampheylborane give, on reaction with aldehydes, β-hydroxy esters with high threo-selectivity (90+%) in 77–85% ee. A variety of structurally different oxazolines

Lithium enolates of N-propanoyloxazolidinones react with (1-bromoethyl)boronic esters to form predominantly threo-2-methyl-3-borylbutanoic acid derivatives. The reaction of enantiomerically pure oxazolidinone enolate 2 with excess racemic (1-bromoethyl)boronic ester rac-3a produced a single isolable product 4a in high diastereomeric and enantiomeric purity. Iodide catalysts resulted in racemization of any excess of ent-3a back to rac-3a so that both enantiomers were utilized via 3a (hence, ''retroracemization'') in the presence of 1 equiv of 2 to produce 4a, again in high purity and yield. The (1-bromoethyl)boronic ester rac-3b underwent similar retroracemization, though less efficiently. (Haloalkyl)boronic esters of much higher or lower reactivity did not undergo useful Im an attempt to direct the reaction to produce erythro isomer, 2 was paired with (1-bromoethyl)boronic ester 10, but the predominant product remained the threo isomer. The enantiomeric composition of this threo product was subsequently called into question by the observation that (1-bromopentyl)boronic ester 13 epimerizes readily to 14 and that both 13 and 14 with the lithium enolate of tert-butyl propanoate. This result contrasts sharply to the previously reported grossly differing behaviors of diastereomeric pairs of (1-chloroalkyl)boronic esters toward Grignard reagents and provides a warning that the previously reported reactions of (1-bromoalkyl)boronic esters with carboxylic ester enolates do not necessarily lead to good enantiomeric purities.

Copper(I)-Catalyzed Enantio- and Diastereoselective Tandem Reductive Aldol Reaction
An efficient method for the enantioselective tandem reductive aldol reaction of methyl acrylate with aldehydes is reported. By using a copper( I) precursor and a proper diphosphane ligand, high reactivities can be reached, with TOF up to 40 000 h(-1). Taniaphos- based ligands lead to enantioselectivities of up to 97% in the case of the major syn diastereoisomer.
