Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>In terms of yield, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity this reaction works best for arylalkylketenes and diarylketenes with p‐substituted arylaldehydes resulting in substituted β‐lactones or β‐hydroxyacids after hydrolysis.</p> </abstract>
