## Abstract The development and design of reliable and efficient methods for the construction of chiral building blocks are crucial in modern natural product synthesis. 8βOxabicyclo[3.2.1]octβ6βenβ3βones are readily accessible scaffolds with defined stereochemical features which have been exploited
The first asymmetric synthesis of (2S)-, and (2R)-amino-3,3-dimethoxypropanoic acid (a-formylglycine dimethylacetal) has been achieved in two steps and 91% overall yield. The key step involved the quenching of a chiral glycine titanium enolate with trimethyl orthoformate.
