The results for the additionreactions of chiral lithium (2S)-enolates of 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones to aldehydes and to acetophenone, yielding the corresponding dioxolanone alcohols have been revised. The results reported herein differ from those reported in the literature, both in product distribution and in the stereochemical assignment of the products. In fact, in several cases no stereocontrol was observed
