✦ Synopsis


Crotylboronates react with alpha-oxocarboxylic acids in a highly stereocontrolled manner. The reaction presumably proceeds through a bicyclic transition state. The alpha-carboxylic substituent exerts a remarkable effect on the rate, regio-and stereoselectivities of the reaction; homoallylic alphahydroxycarboxylic acids are formed with regio-and stereoselectivities approach 100%.
