A study of the lipase-catalyzed hydrolyses of various α-substituted β-acetoxy esters revealed that a sulfur functional group in the ester, which could play an important role in the stereorecognition by lipase A6 (Aspergillus sp.) and an anti conformation
Enantioselective Diastereospecific Synthesis of anti-α-Alkyl-β-hydroxy Esters through Cuprate Opening of Glycidic Esters
Mulzer, Johann,Lammer, Ortrud
, p. 2178 - 2190 (2007/10/02)
A diastereospecific chain elongation of the aldehydes 1 to anti-αalkyl-β-hydroxy esters 2 via the intermediates 4 - 7 is described.By means of the Sharpless epoxidation, 2 may be obtained with >90percent ee in either enantiomer.
Dehydrative Decarboxylation of 2,3-Disubstituted 3-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids with Dimethylformamide Acetals - Mechanistic Studies and Preparative Applicability

Dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (2a) converts the threo-3-hydroxycarboxylic acids 4 smoothly into the (E)/(Z)-olefins 7/6 only if R2 is an aryl or vinyl substituent.Althougt the reaction exhibits a distinct (E)-selectivity it cannot be considered as a stereo-controlled olefin synthesis.If R2 is alkyl, 2a generates the methyl esters 10 from 4.The erythro-acids 5 react with 2a to give 43 - 95percent of >98percent sterically pure 7.As the key tranformation on the multistep way from 4/5 to 6/7 the fragmentation of the zwitterionic intermediate 11/20 is postulated.
