The reaction of chiral, non-racemic 4- and 5- oxazolidinonecarbaldehydes, 6 and 13, with organocerium reagents proceeds efficiently with good to excellent diastereoselectivity to give syn and anti alcohols, respectively. A model to explain the observed diastereoselectivity of the reaction of 6 and 13 is provided. The utility of this method for the synthesis of amino alcohols is exemplified by the synthesis of C-18-D-ribo- phytosphingosine from the anti alcohol 14f.
