Compound 2, which is a known intermediate for the total synthesis of hypocholesterolemic agent 1233A 1, has been synthesized in good overall yield through a convergent approach, employing 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate 6 and BHYMA* 5 as chiral building bloc
Protecting group controlled diastereoselective allylation of asymmetrized bis (hydroxymethyl) acetaldehydes (BHYMA)

MgBr2 catalysed allylation of a series of diprotected asymmetrized bis (Hydroxymethyl) acetaldehydes 2 with allyltributylstannane proceeds with good diastereoselectivity. The stereochemical results are in line with a cyclic chelated transition state, where only one of the two CH2OR appendages, due to the different nature of protecting groups, is capable of coordinating the Lewis acid.
