✦ Synopsis
The reaction of enolate prepared from ethyl 3-methyl-4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate with Mo05-Py-HMPA complex provides ethyl (2S*,3S*)-2-hydroxy-3methyl-4,4,4_trifluorobutyrate predominantly. In contrast, NaBH4 reduction of the corresponding 2-oxobutyrate affords (2R* ,3S*)-hydroxyester preferentially.
