Abstract
The 3,4‐stereochemistry of aldol adducts can now be controlled for the first time with the new, chiral, readily accessible enolate reagent 2; i.e. the chiral aldehyde 1 can be transformed both into 3,4‐anti‐ and into the 3,4‐syn‐aldol adduct, 3 and 4, as major product. 2a forms 3a and 4a in the ratio of 15:1, while 2b leads to 3b and 4b in the ratio of 1:10.
