Abstract

α,β-Unsaturated dioxolanones derived from mandelic acid smoothly add most Grignard reagents with good to excellent regio- and diastereoselectivities. The adducts are converted to chiral secondary alcohols by peroxidation at low temperature or to protected α-hydroxy aldehydes via ozonolysis.
