References and Notes
Hemiketals prepared by reaction of the metal alkoxides of MeOH, 2-PrOH, phenol and BINOL consistently exhibited a singlet with a chemical shift between δ = -85.4 and -85.8 ppm by 19F NMR spectroscopic analysis with benzotrifluoride as internal standard (δ = -61.5 ppm).

Experimental Procedure
(R)-(+)-1,1′-Bi(2-naphthol) (5.1 g, 17.6 mmol, 120 mol%) was dissolved in anhyd 1,2-dichloroethane (35 mL) and THF (8.75 mL) and the solution was cooled to -40 °C. A solution of Et2Zn (13.4 mL, 14.7 mmol, 100 mol%, 1.1 M in toluene) was added over 30 min. Caution: gas evolution! Proper venting required! The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h, cooled to -40 °C and a solution of EtMgCl (8.8 mL, 17.6 mmol, 120 mol%, 2 M in THF) was added over 15 min. The solution was warmed to r.t. for 1 h and then cooled to -40 °C. Ethyl 2,2,2-trifluoropyruvate (1.95 mL, 2.50 g, 14.7 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe pump over 6 h. The mixture was let stir 18 h and then quenched with 2 N aq HCl (25 mL). The organic layer was washed with 1 N aq NaOH (3 × 20 mL). The organic layer was then treated with 8 N KOH (200 mol%) at reflux for 2 h. The solution was cooled to r.t. and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was washed with MTBE (20 mL) and then acidified to pH 1 with 6 N HCl. The aqueous layer was extracted with MTBE (20 mL), dried with MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuum to afford (2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)butanoic acid (2b) as a white solid in 74% yield and 74% ee; mp 120-122 °C. 1H NMR (500 MHz, acetone-d
6): δ = 1.96 (m, 1 H), 1.81 (m, 1 H), 0.88 (t, 3 H, J = 7.5 Hz). 13C NMR (125 MHz, acetone-d
6): δ = 170.4, 123.6 (q, J = 284 Hz), 77.6 (q, J = 28.5 Hz), 24.7, 6.4. 19F NMR (470 MHz, CDCl3, internal standard PhCF3 at -61.5 ppm): δ = -77.3. Chiral GC analysis (methyl ester): Cyclodex-B column, 50 °C for 1 min, 5 °C/min to 95 °C, hold at 95 °C for 1 min, 20 °C/min to 200 °C, injector 180 °C, detector 250 °C, split 10:1, 13.5 psi He, S-enantio-mer at 6.10 min, R-enantiomer at 6.83 min.
