The enantioselective synthesis of either enantiomer of α-alkyl- α-hydroxy-α-phenylacetic acids was achieved by using 2-acyloxathianes 1a-c and the mixed acyl-S,O-acetals 7 and 8 as chiral auxiliaries, which can straightforwardly be prepared from (1R)-(-)-myrtenal. This procedure allowed the preparation of the title compounds in >95% enantiomeric excess (ee).

The synthesis of novel oxathiane 3 and its acetyl derivative 12, from commercially available (-)-myrtenal 4, is described. The addition of several nucleophilic reagents to 12 furnished the corresponding tertiary carbinols in highly diastereomeric excess. The hydrolysis of 11a, b yielded the expected α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds in excellent enantiomeric excess.
