A new strategy for the synthesis of tetronic acids with control over the regioselective introduction of substituents at the C-5 position has been developed. The construction of the densely functionalized quaternary carbon center within these molecules is of great importance. The key element for the proposed protocol was the utilization of O-carboxyanhydrides (OCA's) of optically active α-hydroxy acids, as promising bidentate protective/activating precursors. The structure of the new compounds was investigated by using NMR spectral data and X-ray structural analyses.

The applicability of five aryl substituted m-hydrobenzoin ethers already tested in the L-Selectride mediated stereoselective reduction of phenylglyoxylates as open chain chiral auxiliaries was further investigated via the α-alkylation of propionates, the addition of n-BuZnCl to phenylglyoxylates and the Diels-Alder reaction of acrylates with cyclopentadiene as model reactions. As up to 90% de could be achieved in the solution phase, two optimized auxiliary structures were immobilized on commercially available Wang-resin and applied as a reusable solid supported chiral auxiliaries in the same type of reactions.
