Asymmetric synthesis of dithiolane aldols 3 was achieved in good yield
s by using silyl ketene acetal 1, derived from ethyl 1,3-dithiolane-2-
carbylate, in the chiral oxazaborolidinone (L-l and D-2)-promoted aldo
l reaction and desulfurization of 3 resulted in production of acetate
aldols 4 in high enantiomerc purity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scien
