Dioxolanones 7 and 8a and oxazolinones 9a derived from pivalaldehyde and lactic acid, mandelic acid, and proline, respectively, furnish chiral enolates of type 3 by deprotonation with LDA.Reactions of these enolates with alkyl halides, aldehydes, and keto

α-Hydroxy- and α-mercapto-carboxylic acids are condensed with pivalaldehyde to give 2-t-butyl-5-substituted-1,3-dioxolanones or 1,3-oxathiolanones (2); the predominate cis-isomers are separeted by crystallization.The cis-disubstituted heterocycles 2 derived from lactic, mandelic and malic acid funish, after deprotonation with LDA, reaction with electrophiles such as alkyl halides, aldehydes and ketones, and hydrolysis α-branched α-hydroxy-carboxylic acids (3, 6, 8, 9, 10).These result from an overall substitution of the proton in the α-CO position with retention of configuration.The optically active carboxylic acids are α-alkylated without racemization and without employment of a chiral auxiliary ("self-reproduction of chirality", Scheme 1).The diastereoselectivities (ds) are generally >95percent (Table 1, 2, and 20-25).

The α-anions of 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones derived from chiral mandelic and lattic acid (2a, 2b; 3a; 10a, 10b) were alkylated with high stereoselectivity, The products formed were hydrolysed to α-hydroxy acids with 65-85percent e.e. ((S)(+)-5,7,9, (R)(-)-13).
