Using readily accessible 10-sulfonamido-isoborneols as regenerable, chiral auxiliaries, highly face-selective C-C-bond formations at Cα and Cβ of carboxylates could be conveniently achieved.Thus, conjugated additions of RCu to enoates (1->2) furnished, after saponification, β-substituted carboxylic acids 3 in 94-98 percent e.e.Similarly, propionates 12 yielded after deprotonation, enolate alkylation, and reductive ester cleveage the (R)-alcohols 15 in 78-98 percent e.e.The acid (+)-3e was converted to the pheromone (-)-11.
