The enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of 3-substituted and unsubstituted cyclic hemiketals of ω-hydroxy-2-oxoesters as analogs of sialic and ulosonic acids is effectively achieved by a convenient four step sequence via alkylation of metalated N,N-dimethyl- and SAMP-hydrazones of 2-oxoesters with O-protected primary ω-hydroxy-alkyl iodides and subsequent cleavage of the hydrazone moiety and of the O-protecting group.
