Double diastereoselective SuperQuat glycolate aldol reactions: application to the asymmetric synthesis of polyfunctionalised lactones.

Polyfunctionalised lactones with up to five contiguous stereocentres may be prepared with high stereocontrol by a double diastereoselective aldol protocol with protected homochiral alpha,beta-dihydroxy- or alpha,beta-gamma-trihydroxyaldehydes and a chiral glycolate oxazolidinone, followed by subsequ...
