(2R,4R)-2,4-Dibenzyloxy-1-pentanol (7) is available by stereoselective reaction of the chiral vinyllithium reagent 1b ((R)-1-bromo-1-lithio-3-[(2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy]-1-butene) with (R)-3-benzyloxybutyraldehyde (2). Thus, the addition of a methanol-d1-synthon (-CH2OH) to O-protected 3-hydroxybutyraldehydes is possible in a "non-chelate-controlled" manner.
