Abstract

Abstract Enantiopure ε-O-silyloxy-and ε-O-benzyloxy-α, β-unsaturated esters derived from d- ribose, each containing a cis-dioxolane unit, display excellent (⩾ 95: 5 dr) levels of diastereofacial directing ability upon conjugate addition of achiral lithium N-benzyl-N- isopropylamide. In contrast to the corresponding enantiopure ε-O-silyloxy-α, β-unsaturated ester derived from l-tartaric acid, which contains a trans-dioxolane unit, the conjugate ...
