The stereoselective preparation of 1-hydroxycyclopenta-precursors are easily synthesized by two consecutive enolate alkylations. Excellent stereochemical control for the necarboxylic acid derivatives is reported. The key reaction is either a radical cyclization or a radical annulation mediated quate

A practical synthesis of both enantiomers of 2-(tert-butyl)-Z-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one starting from D-mannitol IS reported These compounds are chiral equivalents of glycolic acid ( = hydroxyacetic acid) which are configurationally stable and can be alkylated via their enolates.
Introduction.
-Recently, we became interested in producing glycolic-acid radicals and applying thein for the synthesis of alkylated CI -hydroxy-or CI -alkoxy-acid derivatives [ 11.
Our final goal is the synthesis of enantiomerically pure cyclic a-hydroxy acids by enolate alkylations and radical cyclizations. For this purpose, we need an easily available nonracemic equivalent of glycolic acid (= hydroxyacetic acid). Several approaches to this problem have been reported in the literature. They are mainly based on acyclic derivatives bearing a chiral ester/amide group [2] or cyclic derivatives with chirality at the acetal OMOM 0 Hefmchen (1984) Pearson (1 986) Kelly (1 984) COOMe j .

Acetamide-acetal Clai~n rearrangement of the C2-symmetric enediol easily derived from D-mannitol provided a chiral C8-building block, which was demonstrated to be versatile for divergent synthesis of both enantiomeric forms of substituted paraconic acids.
A convenient synthesis of (S)-and (R)-4-vinyl oxazolidin-2-one 1 and 2 from the same inexpensive starting material, D-isoascorbic acid, is described. The title compounds were obtained in 44% and 38% yield, respectively, by operationally simple steps. This approach is a suitable alternative to the li
