Treatment of the α,β-epoxy-aldehydes (l) and (2) with Lewis acids followed by in situ reaction with carbon nucleophiles produces halohydrins of the products of "chelation controlled" addition to the aldehyde with high diastereoselectivity; The regiochemistry of epoxide opening is determined by choice of Lewis acid.
