Abstract
Aldol reactions of super silyl haloesters including chloro- and bromoacetate give syn-β-hydroxy-α-haloacetates in good yields with high diastereoselectivities. β-Hydroxy-α-fluoroacetate was obtained by lithiation of super silyl bromofluoroacetate. Sequential Darzens reactions provided cis-glycidic esters in moderate yields.
