A highly diastereoselective approach to dipropionate derivatives through Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of enantioenriched <i>E</i>-ketene heterodimers is described. Catalytic hydrogenation of the <i>E</i>-isomer of ketene heterodimer β-lactones (12 examples) provides access to <i>syn</i>,<i>anti</i>-β-lactones (dipropionate derivatives) bearing up to three stereogenic centers (dr up to 49:1), and with excellent transfer of chirality (ee up to >99%). ...[more]
