✦ Synopsis
Under a proper reaction condition, simple ester enolates add to d,e-unsaturated esters highly stereoselectively to give erythro or threoglutarates.
Previously, we have shown that lithium enolates derived from simple monoesters react with fi,p-unsaturated esters to give glutarates in high yiela. 1) Under this reaction condition, however, the addition of ethyl propionate to P-monosubstituted unsaturates esters was not highly stereoselective, and a
