The metalated 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one SAMP-hydrazone (S)-3 adds to enoate Michael acceptors 2 with high asymmetric induction. Oxidative cleavage of the SAMP auxiliary furnishes selectively protected 3-substituted 4,6-dihydroxy-5-oxo-esters (3S/R,4S)-5 in good yields (40-79%, two steps) with high diastereo- and enantiomeric excesses (de = 91-96%, ee = 89-97%). The relative configuration was determined by NMR spectroscopy and the absolute configuration by analogy with earlier results.
