The deprotonated acetamides 4a - c and 5a - c are added to prochiral carbonyl compounds.The influence of the solvent, of the reaction temperature, and of the enolate gegenion on the ratio of the isomeric products 8/9, 18/19, and 26/27, respectively, are studied.The highest degree of diastereoselectivity are observed, when the titanium enolate of the acetamide 4a or the threefold deprotonated N-acetyl-α-phenylglycinol (5a) is used.The diastereomers 18a - d, formed in excess in the addition of 5a to aldehydes, are isolated in pure from by a single recrystallization, and afford the enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy carboxylic acids 3a - d.Thereby, the chiral auxiliary, α-phenylglycinol (14), is recovered.
