The reaction of enolate prepared from ethyl 3-methyl-4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate with Mo05-Py-HMPA complex provides ethyl (2S\*,3S\*)-2-hydroxy-3methyl-4,4,4\_trifluorobutyrate predominantly. In contrast, NaBH4 reduction of the corresponding 2-oxobutyrate affords (2R\* ,3S\*)-hydroxyester preferentially
