                                    A concise approach for the rapid synthesis of enantiomerically pure alpha-alkylated derivatives of lactate esters and of other enantiomerically pure alpha-hydroxy esters is presented.  This methodology, which makes use of enantiomeric lithium enolates prepared from diastereomeric tetrahydropyranyl ethers derived from alkyl lactates and other alpha-hydroxy esters, is used to prepare both enantiomers of frontalin from (S)-(-)-methyl lactate.
