Polypropionates made EZ: The E/Z geometry of tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl super silyl enol ethers derived from propionaldehyde controls diastereoselectivity in the aldehyde crossed-aldol reaction. These silyl enol ethers can participate in polyaldol cascade reactions, thus allowing the one-pot synthesis of four different dipropionate stereotetrads (see scheme), and polyketides bearing up to five contiguous stereocenters.
THE DIMESITYLBORON GROUP IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 8. PREPARATION OF 1,3-DIOLS FROM OXIRANES

Alkyldimesitylboranes, yield anions, Mes2BCHR, that on reaction with oxiranes followed by oxidation give 1,3-diols.These anions are thus the operational equivalent of RCHOH.The scope and limitations of the new process are delineated.
