(Chemical Figure Presented) Rhodium catalysis: The first example of a catalytic asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to α-ketoesters was realized by using a chiral RhI-spirophosphite ligand complex in aqueous solvent to provide tertiary α-hydroxyesters in good yields with high enantioselectivities (see scheme; DCE = 1,2-dichloroethane).

Addition of Grignard and organolithium reagents to chiral α-ketooxazolines results in α-substituted α-hydroxyoxazoline derivatives which on hydrolytic removal of the chiral auxiliary groups give rise to α-substituted α-hydroxy acids in 30-87 percent enantiomeric excess (ee).Studies on the various parameters (solvents, temperature, substituents) were undertaken to reach optimum asymmetric induction.
