Abstract
Very efficient enantioselective syntheses of (1R)-trans-and cis-hemicaronaldehydes precursors of (1R)-trans chrysanthemic acid and its (1R)-cis dibromovinyl analogue starting from natural tartaric acid or D-mannitol are described. They are based on the reaction between isopropylidenetriphenylphosphorane or isopropylidenediphenylsulfurane and chiral γ-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated esters. The general problem of the diastereoselective addition to such esters is discussed.
