Indium promoted allylation of carbonyl compounds with 4-(bromomethyl)-1,3- dioxol-2-one diastereoselectively affords anti-α,β-dihydroxyketones, protected as enol carbonates. These initial products can be deprotected to free dihydroxyketones or transformed

Methylglyoxal is successfully converted to the tin(II) enediolate on reatment with activated metallic tin.The tin(II) enediolate reacts with several aldehydes to give α,β-dihydroxyketones in good yields.
