Aliphatic alcohols 3 in ≥90% ee may be prepared via the dioxanones 1 , which are readily accessible from aldehydes inexpensive ( R )‐3‐hydroxybutanoic acid. The cyclic acetals 1 react with silyl nucleophiles Me 3 SiR Nu in the presence of Cl 3 TiX to give, with ≥95% ds , the 3‐alkoxy acids 2 , from which the alcohols 3 are released by base‐induced elimination.
