title: Highly diastereoselective anti-aldol reactions of glycolate titanium enolates.
abstract: Diastereoselective aldol reactions of enolates of alpha-hydroxy ester with different aldehydes are metal tunable, providing either anti- or syn- products. The highest anti-selectivities were obtained with TiCl(OiPr)(3), while Ti(OiPr)(4) provides the opposite syn-products.
