transformations of thioesters to various α-hydroxy carboxylic acid derivatives (acids, esters, amides) without racemisation have been achieved. The approach resulted in the synthesis of the dimethyl ether of (R)-(−)-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid in its naturally occurring form. Addition of dibutyl cuprate (derived from BuMgBr and Cu(I)Br) to the thioester gave the corresponding ketone in high yield and again without
