Dispiroketals in Synthesis (Part 6): Highly Stereoselective Alkylation of Dispiroketal Protected Lactate and Glycolate Enolates
Downham, Robert,Kim, Kun Soo,Ley, Steven V.,Woods, Martin
, p. 769 - 772 (1994)
Protected lactic acid enolates have been alkylated with a range of electrophiles to give the substituted adducts with moderate to excellent stereoselectivity.A chiral protected glycolic acid adduct has also been doubly alkylated with high stereoselectivit
