Asymmetric dihydroxylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones provided α,β-dihydroxyketones with up to 100% ee. The Cα-O bond of these intermediates or their bis-TMS ethers, acetonides, phenylborates or orthoformiates was cleaved with SmI2, affording β-hydroxyketones. The latter can be reduced to furnish syn- or anti-configured 1,3-diols of any desired configuration. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
