Abstract
The lithium aldol reaction of α-chloroaldehydes provides 1,2-anti -configured β-ketochlorohydrins.
The scope of this reaction is demonstrated as well as its application
to the synthesis of the C4-C15 segment of haterumalide
NA.
Key words
α-chloroaldehydes - aldol reaction - stereoselective
synthesis - heterocycles - natural products

15 The stereochemical assignment of all
new β-ketochloro-hydrins was confirmed by conversion into
known compounds, or the corresponding epoxy alcohols (1. catecholborane,
THF, -10 ˚C; 2. KOH, EtOH, 0 ˚C
to r.t.) and subsequent analysis of coupling constants and NOE data.
