Stereoselective radical reactions of some tartaric and glyceric acid derivatives.
[reaction: see text] Free radicals generated by the decarboxylation of dimethoxydioxanecarboxylic acids derived from L-(+)-tartaric acid and L-glyceric acid added to some maleimides and acrylates with high stereoselectivity. This method provides easy access to some chiral building blocks.
