✦ Synopsis
The reduction of ct-alkyl-13-hydroxy ketones is highly syn-seleetive if carried out in THF on their Ti-alcoholate complexes with LiBI-h or L-SeleetrideCg or N-sclectride~ depending on the bulkiness of the group bound to the earbonyl group.

A highly efficient and stereoselective technique for additions to syn-β-alkyl-β-hydroxy-α-methyl ketones is now available. The methodology is based on the conversion of the starting material into a trichlorotitanium alkoxide derivative, which is able to assume a stable cyclic arrangement exhibiting
