Abstract

Reduction of α-ketoesters bearing 5(N-methylbenzoylamino)-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylheptan-3-ol as a chiral auxiliary proceeds with high diastereoselectivity by using DIBAL as a reducing agent. The chiral auxiliary is recovered upon treatment with base, and α-hydroxy carboxylic acids are obtained in good chemical yields with high enantioselectivity.
