title: Benzaldehyde lyase catalyzed enantioselective self and cross condensation reactions of acetaldehyde derivatives.
abstract: Flexible protected 1,3,4-trihydroxy-2-butanone is synthesized in high enantiomeric excesses by using asymmetric homo- and cross- acyloin coupling of aliphatic aldehydes catalyzed by benzaldehyde lyase.
