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).

Treatment of hydroxythiol 4 with α,α-diethoxyacetophenone at room temperature yielded a mixture of epimeric S,O-acetals 6 and 7 (1:4, 92% yield), which were efficiently separated by flash chromatography. The OTBS derivatives 8 and 9 were treated with several Grignard reagents to afford carbinols 10 and 13 respectively (85-99% yield, >95% dr). After successive hydrolysis and reduction of 10 and 13 it is possible to obtain either enantiomer of diols 16 in high optical purity (>95% er).
