26. The acetonide corresponding to (S)-1 can also be used in aldol reactions with good results (E. Falomir, PhD Thesis, University of Castellón, 1998). Ketone (S)-1, however, is obtained with a better yield from L-erythrulose. The acetonide corresponding to (R)-1 is known; see, for example: Ziegler, F. E.; Tung, J. S. J. Org. Chem. 1991, 56, 6530-6537.

47. Paterson, I.; Wallace, D. J.; Velázquez, S. M. Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 9083-9086. These authors suggested that initial formation of a five-membered chelate involving the boron, the carbonyl oxygen and the α oxygen atoms, followed by stereoselective deprotonation by the tertiary amine, explains the formation of a Z enolate. This and other alternative explanations are now being studied by us at both the theoretical and experimental level.
