(2R,3R)-Dihydroxy-tetrahydronaphthalene, prepared via an efficient che
moenzymatic procedure from naphthalene, has been successfully tested,
as a chiral auxiliary in diastereoselective conjugate additions of lit
hium dialkylcuprates to alpha,beta-unsaturated esters and in stereosel
ective alkylations of beta-ketoesters. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier
