The ketones 1 and 2 can be transformed into a wide range of enantiomerically-pure anti and syn α-methyl-β-hydroxy ketones and aldehydes. The α′-methyl group in 5 and 11 may be retained, demonstrating the use of the lactate-derived group as an optional chiral auxiliary.
酮1和2可以转化到广泛范围的对映体纯的抗和顺式α甲基β羟基酮和醛。可以保留5和11中的α'-甲基,这表明使用
乳酸酯衍生的基团作为任选的手性助剂。
