Valuable substrates for the synthesis of natural products, compounds 3 (R1 =alkyl, aryl, alkoxy; R2 , R3 =alkyl) are formed from β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters 1 and vinyl ethers 2 by the title reaction [Eq. (1)]. Copper(II) bisoxazolines act as catalysts, and in many cases enantiomeric excesses higher than 99.5 % are achieved.

yield, high diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity. The potential of the reaction is demonstrated by the synthesis of optically active carbohydrates such as spiro-carbohydrates, an ethyl beta-D-mannoside tetraacetate, and acetal-protected C-2-branched carbohydrates. On the basis of X-ray crystallographic data and the absolute configuration of the products, it is proposed that the alkene
