Ynolates were found to react with alpha-alkoxy-, alpha-siloxy-, and alpha-aryloxyketones at room temperature to afford tetrasubstituted olefins with high Z selectivity. Since the geometrical selectivity was determined in the ring opening of the beta-lactone enolate intermediates, the torquoselectivity was controlled by the ethereal oxygen atoms. From experimental and theoretical studies, the high Z
bond-forming reactions, the efficiencies of which were secured by appropriate aldol-stabilizing steps. A mechanistic rationale accounting for the markedly diastereoselective character of the key Mukaiyama aldol reactions between TBSOP and the ketone acceptors has been postulated that involves hetero-Diels-Alder transition-state structures in which the preference for endo versus exo addition is governed by
Lithium tri-s-butylborohydride and lithiumaluminumhydride were found to be efficient reducingagents for the stereoselective preparation of syn-glycerol derivatives from (R)-4-acyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes. The scope and limitation of the stereoselective L-Selectride reduction of (R)-4-acyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes were also described.

An improved synthesis of the useful ketones 7 is described. These ketones are then further modified via a highly stereospecific reduction. to give homochiral alpha-alkoxy carboxylic acids which are useful chiral auxiliaries and intermediates.
Vicarious Silylative Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction: A Vinylogous Extension
A vinylogous, silylative, and direct variant of the venerable Mukaiyama aldol reaction has been developed. Exploiting N-Boc-pyrrol-2(5H)-one as the conjugate donor, several aldehyde and ketone acceptors were scrutinized under the guidance of suitable dual Lewis acid-Lewis base activators to provide a varied repertoire of functionality-rich alpha,beta-unsaturated-gamma-amino-delta-silyloxy carbonyl structures, in useful yields and often with an exquisite level of diastereoselection.
