Abstract
Abstract Highly diastereoselective alcoholysis of σ-symmetric dicarboxylic acid anhydrides was performed using 1-phenyl-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)propan-1,3-diol. The importance of the geminally trifluoromethylated carbinol moiety for achieving a high degree of chiral induction was confirmed from lower diastereoselectivity with the hydroxyl protected 1,3-diol or with the similar 1,3-diols having hydrocarbon substituents instead of the trifluoromethyl group.
