Abstract
(1R,2R)-2-(4-tert-Butylphenoxy)cyclohexan-1-ol (5) and (1R,2R)-2-(4-phenylphenoxy)cyclohexan-1-ol (6) have been used for the first time as chiral auxiliaries. Addition of alkylzinc chlorides to the corresponding glyoxylates 5a, 6a, after hydrolysis, provided (R)-α-hydroxy acids in high optical purities.
