The diastereoselection in the Lewis acid promoted addition of chiral, beta-methyl-substituted (E)-crotylsilanes (S)-1a and (R)-1b with alpha-(benzyloxy)acetaldehyde (2) is reversed from syn to anti by changing the Lewis acid from BF3.OEt2 (non-chelation-controlled conditions) to MgBr2.OEt2, a Lewis acid that is capable of forming a strong chelate with the alpha-(benzyloxy) group of the aldehyde. The reactions result in the formation of the syn homoallylic alcohols 3 or the complementary anti products 4.
