Chiral δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters are easily available through the enantioselective vinylogous aldol reaction of Chan's diene promoted by a SiCl4/chiral phosphoramide catalytic system. The procedure is conveniently exploited for a very rapid approach to (+)-kavain, a natural bio-active α-pyrone compound.
