Abstract
A highly diastereo- and enantioselective entry to higher order ketopolyols, employing boron-mediated aldol reactions of a chiral dihydroxyacetone equivalent, is reported. The differentially protected products should prove as useful building blocks for polyhydroxylated natural product synthesis.
Key words
chiral dihydroxyacetone equivalent - α-substituted ketones - aldol reactions - polyols - asymmetric synthesis

19 The one-pot bis-aldol reaction of 2,2-dimethyldioxan-5-one by enolisation, reaction with PhCHO, a second enolisation and then reaction with CyCHO was recently reported. The racemic anti-trans-anti product was isolated in 64% yield. See Ref.
[11]
20 Dimethyldioxirane has been proposed as an alternative oxidising agent in these systems. See Ref.
