Studies on the generation of enolate anions from butane-2,3-diacetal protected glycolic acid derivatives and subsequent highly diastereoselective coupling reactions with aldehydes and acid chlorides.

Highly diastereoselective coupling reactions of enolates derived from butane-2,3-diacetal protected glycolic acids 1 and 2 and their alkylated derivatives with aldehydes are reported together with their efficient acid-catalysed deprotection to yield enantiopure anti-2,3-dihydroxyesters. A procedure...
