alpha,beta-Dihydroxy-beta-aryl esters obtained via Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of substituted cinnamate esters are reduced by sequential reaction with trimethyl orthoacetate and acetyl bromide followed by catalytic hydrogenolysis in methanol to give enantiomerically enriched beta-aryl-alpha-hydroxy esters.
