α-benzyloxy aldehydes having a chiral tertiary center at α-carbon atom are synthesized in high enantiomeric excess by successive treatment of 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-phenyl-1,3-diazabicyclooctane with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) and Grignard reagents.The asymmetric reaction is applied to the total synthesis of exo-(+)-brevicomin.
