Abstract
Enantiomerically enriched, secondary benzyl N-[2-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)ethyl]-N-isopropylcarbamates were prepared, lithiated, and stereospecifically substituted by several electrophiles. Deprotection under basic conditions furnished optically active tertiary benzylic alcohols and glycols or 2-hydroxy-2-arylalkanoic acid esters. In summary, the sequence achieves the stereospecific chain elongation of d1-synthons, derived from secondary benzyl alcohols.
