Abstract
( l)-(+)-Diethyl tartarate 2 has been transformed into the aldehyde 6. Grignard additions to 6 take place with moderate diastereoselectivity giving predominant formation of the anti products 8a– e. However, in each case the diastereoalcohols are easily separable by column chromatography giving rise to the formation of a series of functionalised homochiral alcohols 7 and 8. On the other hand Zn mediated allylation and propargylation of 6 in the presence of water proceeded efficiently with almost absolute (>99%) stereoselective formation of versatile functionalised homoallylic 8d and homopropargylic 8e alcohols respectively.
