ChemInform Abstract
A very efficient method for performing highly stereoselective aldol reactions is developed. The resulting products can easily be transformed into α-methyl-β-hydroxy acids, esters, and ketones as well as 1,3-syn and 1,3-anti diols without racemization. The pheromones ent-sitophilure (VIIId) and ent-sitophilate (VIc) are available using this method.
