Methylation of the enolates 7, 24, 28 and 33 and protonation of the enolates 10, 27, 31 and 36 are diastereoselective in conformity to a general rule, summarised in the drawing 1, governing the stereochemistry of electrophilic attack on a double bond adjacent to a stereogenic centre.The sense of the selectivity is, with one exception, opposite to that of the corresponding nucleophilic attack on a carbonyl group adjacent to a stereogenic centre, which, with the same exception, follows Cram's and the Felkin-Anh rule, summarised in the drawing 2.The exception is probably the reduction 40 -> 38 + 39, with 39 as the major product.This result is inconsistent with Cram's and the Felkin-Anh rule if the isopropyl group is counted as 'larger' than the phenyl group, whereas the Grignard reaction 37 -> 38 + 39, where 39 is again the major product, and the corresponding electrophilic reactions 33 -> 34 + 35, with 34 as the major product, and 36 -> 34 + 35, with 35 as the major product, are all consistent with isopropyl being effectively larger than phenyl.

Highly diastereoselective tandem alkylation process of acyclic α,β-unsaturated esters was developed based on the novel use of dithioacetal as a stereocontrolling unit.
