A catalytic enantioselective β-O-elimination reaction is reported in the form of a zirconium-catalyzed asymmetric opening of meso-ketene acetals. Furthermore, a regiodivergent β-O-elimination is demonstrated. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, at low catalyst loadings, and produces chiral monoprotected cis-1,2-diols in good yield and enantiomeric excess. The combination with a Mitsunobu reaction or a one-pot hydroboration/Suzuki reaction sequence then gives access to additional diol an ...[more]
