Abstract

The Eu(III)-catalyzed reaction of α-benzyloxyaldehydes with the (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate-derived ketene silyl acetal is shown to provide a higher level of both "anti" diastereofacial selection and rather unusual anti diastereoselection, compared with the conventional TiCl4-promoted version. The aldol adducts are elaborated to the carbapenem intermediates.
