Essentially, enantiopure syn- and anti-propionate aldol adducts were divergently synthesized using a novel strategy which utilizes both the highly enantioselective 1,3,2-oxazaborolidin-5-one-promoted aldol reaction with a ketene silyl acetal derived from ethyl 2-bromo propionate and a highly diastereoselective radical debromination reaction. These procedures provide yields that increase to a level available for practical synthesis.
