General Informations: All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of argon or nitrogen in
flame-dried glassware with magnetic stirring. Dichloromethane, acetonitrile, triethylamine, 2,6-
lutidine, diisopropylamine, dimethylformamide, titanium tetrachloride and N-methylpyrrolidone were
distilled from CaH2. Dimethyl sulfoxide was distilled under reduced pressure from calcium hydride
and stored over molecular sieves. THF and toluene were distilled from sodium/benzophenone ketyl.
Oxalyl chloride was distilled immediately prior to use. MeOH was distilled from Mg(OMe)2.
Purification of reaction products was carried out by flash chromatography using silica-gel (230-400
mesh). Analytical thin layer chromatography was performed on silica gel 60 and GF (5-40-μm
thickness) plates. Visualization was accomplished with UV light and anisaldehyde, ceric ammonium
nitrate stain or phosphomolybdic acid followed by heating or I2 staining. 1H and proton-decoupled 13C NMR spectra were taken in C6D6 or CDCl3 at 250, 300 or 500 MHz (1H) and 62.5, 75 or 125
MHz (13C). The chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm using solvent as an internal standard (C6D6 at
7.16 ppm and CDCl3 at 7.26 ppm) or with addition of TMS. Data are reported as: s = singlet, d =
doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, quint = quintuplet, sext = sextet, dd = doublet of doublets, dt = doublet
of triplets, ddd = doublet of doublet of doublets, m = multiplet, qd = quartet of doublets, dhept =
doublet of heptet, brd = broad doublet, brs = broad singlet, dq = doublet of quartet; coupling
constant(s) in Hz; integration.
Representative Procedure for Aldol Reactions of Methyl Ketones (5) and (8) To a solution of the corresponding methyl ketone (0.21 mmol) in Et2O (4 mL), under argon
atmosphere at –78 ºC, was added dropwise dicyclohexylboron chloride (3 equiv.0.63 mmol). After
this, Et3N (3.5 equiv., 0.74 mmol) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1
hour. The solution of aldehyde (4 equiv., 0.84 mmol) in Et2O (0.5 mL) was added dropwise into the
enolate solution at –78 ºC and the resulting mixture was stirred for 2 hours in the same conditions.
The reaction was quenched by addition of 3.0 mL of pH 7.0 aqueous phosphate buffer solution at 0

mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0 ºC. The solution was diluted with H2O (3 mL), and the mixture was
extracted with Et2O (4 times), washed with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3, brine, and dried
over MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting oil was purified by
flash column chromatography to give the aldol adducts.
PROOF OF THE RELATIVE STEREOCHEMISTRY FOR ALDOL ADDUCT (6)
The relative stereochemistries for the major products 6 (Scheme 1) and 9b ( R = iPr) (Scheme 2)
were confirmed by comparison of the spectroscopic properties of the corresponding diols after
removal of the TBS and PMB protecting groups, respectively, by comparison with data described in
the literature (Luke, G. P.; Morris, J. J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 3013).

Representative Procedure for Aldol Reactions of Methyl Ketones (11) and (17)
To a solution of the corresponding methyl ketone (0.18 mmol) in Et2O (5 mL) at –30 ºC, was added
dicyclohexylboron chloride (3 equiv., 0.12 mmol) under fast magnetic stirring. Next, Et3N (3.5 equiv.,
0.63 mmol) was added dropwise, leading to the precipitation of a white solid of Et3N.HCl. Right
away, the crude aldehyde (4 equiv.) was added in the enolate solution at –78 ºC. The resulting mixture
was stirred for 5 minutes at –78 ºC. Next, the temperature was adjusted to –40 ºC and pH 7.0 aqueous
phosphate buffer solution (3 mL) was added. After that, MeOH (2 mL) and H2O2 30% (2.4 mL) were
added dropwise at 0 ºC. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0 ºC. The solution was diluted
with H2O (3 mL), and the mixture was extracted with Et2O (4 times), washed with saturated aqueous
solution of NaHCO3, brine, and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure,
and the resulting oil was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel 200–400 mesh, 15–40% EtOAc
in hexanes), giving the aldol adducts.

Bn (S)-4-benzyl-3-((2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpentanoyl)oxazolidin-2-one:
1.3 mL of Di–n–butylborontrifluoromethanesulfonate (5.4 mmol) was added to a solution of (S)–4–
benzyl–3–propionyloxazolidin–2–one (1.0 g, 4.28 mmol) in 9.6 mL of CH2Cl2 at –12 ºC. After 5
minutes, 0.8 mL of Et3N (5.56 mmol) was added dropwise. After 10 minutes, the resulting yellow
solution was cooled to –78 ºC and 0.43 mL of isobutyraldehyde (4.71 mmol) was added slowly. After
1 hour, the solution was warmed to 0 ºC and stirred at that temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was
quenched by addition of a solution of 21.5 mL of pH 7.0 aqueous phosphate buffer solution and
MeOH in 3:1 ratio (bath temperature = 0 ºC). Next, 16 mL of a solution of MeOH and 30% H2O2
aqueous solution in 3:1 ratio was added carefully and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0 ºC
for 1 hour. The volatiles were removed at aspirator pressure and the residue was extracted with Et2O
(3 times). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, and
dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The crude material was purified by silica gel flash column
chromatography (40% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the syn–aldol adduct (85 %) as colorless oil.

methylpentanoyl)oxazolidin-2-one: Di–n–butylborontrifluoromethanesulfonate (5.0 mL, 20.0
mmol) was added to a solution of (R)–4–benzyl–3–propionyloxazolidin–2–one (3.109 g, 13.3 mmol)
in 24.9 mL of CH2Cl2 at –12 ºC. Next, diisopropylamine (4.0 mL, 22.7 mmol) was added dropwise.
The resulting yellow solution was then cooled to –78 ºC and a refrigerated solution of aldehyde (1M,
3.401 g, 17.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added slowly at –78 ºC. After 30 minutes, the solution was
warmed to –10 ºC and stirred at that temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched by addition
of 29.8 mL of pH 7.0 aqueous phosphate buffer solution and 84.6 mL of MeOH (bath temperature =
–10 ºC). A solution of 79.6 mL of MeOH and 39.8 mL of 30% H2O2 aqueous solution was added
carefully and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0 ºC for 1 hour. The volatiles were removed
at aspirator pressure and the residue was extracted with Et2O (3 times). The combined organic extracts
were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The organic solution was dried over
anhydrous MgSO4 and purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (30% EtOAc/hexanes) to
give the syn–aldol adduct (59%) as colorless oil.

dimethylpentanamide: At 0 ºC, a suspension or N,O–dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.844
g, 18.9 mmol) in THF (13.8 mL) was cautiously treated with AlMe3 (2.0 M in toluene, 9.2 mL, 18.4
mmol). The resultant solution was stirred for 30 minutes at 0 ºC and 90 minutes at room temperature,
and then cooled to 20 ºC. A solution of aldol adduct (2.02 g, 4.73 mmol) in THF (10.3 mL) was added
dropwise. After additional 90 minutes at room temperature, the solution was poured slowly into a
solution of aqueous HCl (1.0 M, 27.4 mL) and CH2Cl2 (27.2 mL) and stirred vigorously at 0 ºC for 90
minutes. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 times), and the combined organic layers
were washed with water (2 times), brine, and dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude
material was dissolved in a minimal amount of Et2O. An equal volume of hexanes was added, and the
resultant solution was refrigerated (4 ºC) overnight. Filtration of the crystals afforded chiral auxiliary.
Concentration of the residual liquid and flash column chromatography (40% EtOAc/hexanes and 50%
EtOAc/hexanes) afforded Weinreb amide (70%) as colorless oil.

(R)-4-benzyl-3-((2R,3S,4R)-3-hydroxy-5-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)-2,4-
dimethylpentanoyl)oxazolidin-2-one: Di–n–butylborontrifluoromethanesulfonate (3.1 mL, 12.11
mmol) was added to a solution of (R)–4–benzyl–3–propionyloxazolidin–2–one (1.88 g, 8.07 mmol) in
15.1 mL of CH2Cl2 at –12 ºC. Next, diisopropylamine (2.4 mL, 13.72 mmol) was added dropwise.
The resulting yellow solution was then cooled to –78 ºC and a refrigerated solution of aldehyde (1M,
2.0187 g, 10.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added slowly at –78 ºC. After 30 minutes, the solution was
warmed to –10 ºC and stirred at that temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched by addition
of 18.1 mL of pH 7.0 aqueous phosphate buffer solution and 51 mL of MeOH (bath temperature =
–10 ºC). A solution of 48.2 mL of MeOH and 24.1 mL of 30% H2O2 aqueous solution was added
carefully and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0 ºC for 1 hour. The volatiles were removed
at aspirator pressure and the residue was extracted with Et2O (3 times). The combined organic extracts
were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The organic solution was dried over
anhydrous MgSO4 and purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (25% EtOAc/hexanes) to
give the syn–aldol adduct (80%) as colorless oil.

and then cooled to 20 ºC. A solution of aldol adduct (0.5 g, 1,13 mmol) in THF (2.5 mL) was added
dropwise. After an additional 90 minutes at room temperature, the solution was poured slowly into a
solution of aqueous HCl (1.0 M, 3.3 mL) and CH2Cl2 (6.5 mL) and stirred vigorously at 0 ºC for 90
minutes. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 times), and the combined organic layers
were washed with water (2 times), brine, and dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude
material was dissolved in a minimal amount of Et2O. An equal volume of hexanes was added, and the
resultant solution was refrigerated (4 ºC) overnight. Filtration of the crystals afforded chiral auxiliary.
Concentration of the residual liquid and flash column chromatography (40% EtOAc/hexanes)
afforded Weinreb amide (70%) as colorless oil.
