Aldol condensation of the bistrimethylsilyl enol ether of methyl acetoacetate, compound 2, with 2-benzyloxyhexanal 3c affords highly selectively (99:1) the syn-aldol adduct 4c in the presence of titanium tetrachloride.The stereocontrolled synthesis of (-)-pestalotin 7 has been achieved.

The cycloaddition reactions of various α-alkoxy aldehydes with 1,3-dimethoxy-1--1,3-butadiene (Brassard's diene, 2) were performed under the Lewis acid catalysis of Eu(hfc)3, magnesium dibromide, or diethylaluminum chloride.Moderate to high diastereoselectivities were observed with Eu(hfc)3 and magnesium dibromide.Evidence from reactions of Eu(hfc)3 and magnesium dibromide catalysis indicated a possible "chelation-control" pathway.Lewis acid catalysis from diethylaluminum chloride provides products with moderate to high diastereoselectivity.The mechanistic pathway with catalysis by diethylaluminum chloride was less clear.A possible mechanism based upon a "Cram" addition is considered.
