4-Substituted-5,5-dimethyl oxazolidin-2-ones as effective chiral auxiliaries for enolate alkylations and Michael additions
Davies SG., Sanganee HJ.
4-(Methyl, phenyl, benzyl, and i-propyl)-5,5-dimethyl-oxazolidin-2-ones, readily available from α-amino acids, are shown to be effective chiral auxiliaries for stereoselective enolate alkylations and conjugate additions of attached N-acyl moieties. © 1995.
