The influence of Lewis acids on the diastereoselectivity of the addition of allyltrimethylsilane to variously protected L-alaninals and L-serinals was investigated and high levels of asymmetric induction were achieved. Stereochemical models for rationalisation of the results obtained are proposed. cis-(2R,3S)-3-Hydroxyproline was synthesised starting from N-Cbz, O-TBS-L-serinal, in which the crucial step involves addition of allyltrimethylsilane to the aldehyde in the presence of SnCl4.
