Ynolates were found to react with α-alkoxy-, α-siloxy-, and α -aryloxyketones at room temperature to afford tetrasubstituted olefins with high Z selectivity. Since the geometrical selectivity was determined in the ring opening of the β-lactone enolate intermediates, the torquoselectivity was controlled by the ethereal oxygen atoms. From experimental and theoretical studies, the high Z selectivity is in duced by orbital and steric interactions rather than by chelation. In a similar manner, α-dialkylamino ketones provided olefins with excellent Z selectivity. These products can be easily converted into multisubstituted butenolides and γ-butyrolactams in good yield.
Diastereoselective reduction of α-aminoketones: Synthesis of anti- and syn-β-aminoalcohols

Reduction of N-t-BOC-protected-N-alkyl α-aminoketones with LiEt 3BH or Li(S-Bu)3BH furnishes protected syn-β-aminoalcohols with high selectivities. In contrast, removal of the BOC group followed by reduction of the aminoketone gives anti-β- aminoalcohols with variable selectivities. With aromatic ketones, selectivities are typically high while aliphatic ketones show mediocre to high selectivities depending on steric considerations.
