Chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide of silyl ketene acetals 2 prepared from chiral esters 1 (1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose 3-alkanoates) and subsequent saponification of 2-chloro esters 3 provides (S)-2-chloroalkanoic acids with 75-90% enantiomeric excess and 65-72% overall yield from esters 1.
