Abstract
Bromofluoroketene silyl acetal 1 was prepared in pure form. Aldol reac tions of 1 with achiral aldehydes catalyzed by chiral Lewis acid 2 pro ceeded with high enantioselectivity to give optically active syn- and anti-alpha-bromo-alpha-fluoro-beta-hydroxy esters 3a-h, respectively ( up to 99% ee).
