description

Abstract Boron aldol additions of 1- O -silylated 3,4-di- O -benzyl- and 3,4-di- O -benzoyl- l -erythrulose and achiral aldehydes using dicyclohexylboron chloride have been investigated. The dibenzyl derivative gave syn/syn stereoisomers with high stereoselectivity, whereas the dibenzoyl derivative gave syn/anti stereoisomers. It is believed that, while the dibenzoyl erythrulose gives rise to the E enolate in the presence of dicyclohexylboron chloride, as usually observed with this reagent, only the Z enolate is formed in the case of the dibenzyl derivative.
