L-selectride reduction of a chiral or achiral enone followed by reaction of the resulting enolate with optically active alpha-alkoxy aldehydes proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity. The resulting alpha,alpha-dimethyl-beta-hydroxy ketones are inherent to a variety of biologically active natural products.
The O-protected polyhydroxy ketones 9-14 and 39, 42 add sigma-type Grignard reagents with >90:10 stereoselectivity to give the 3,4-syn-adducts 17-28 and 43, 45, respectively, as the major diastereomers (Tables 1 and 2). The stereoselectivity is interpreted in terms of early transition states which are very close to the groundstate conformations shown in Figure 6 and 7. These demonstrate that the ''top face'' of the carbonyl group is much less shielded than the ''bottom'' face. Complexation phenomena are of minor importance. It is also shown that the classical transition state models (Felkin-Anh or chelate Cram) are not applicable to polyoxygenated ketones.
