Abstract
Taking the judicious choice of the Lewis acid employed, the glyoxylate ene reactions are shown to proceed with a high level of either erythro or threo diastereoselection. The utility of the ene methodology is demonstrated through the stereocontrolled synthesis of a 22R-hydroxy-23-carboxylate steroid side chain.
