Asymmetric synthesis of α-methoxyarylacetic acid derivatives

Stereoselective synthesis of a series of 2-aryl-2-methoxyethanols was achieved from inexpensive chiral pool tartaric acid employing a diastereoselective reduction of a symmetrical 1,4-diaryldiketone as the key step. 2-Aryl-2-methoxyethanols were enantioselectively prepared in 80-90% yield
