H. Yoda et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE REACTIONS OF GRIGNARD-REAGENTS WITH CHIRAL AMINO LACTOLS DERIVED FROM L-ASPARTIC ACID, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(2), 1994, pp. 169-172
Nucleophilic additions to chiral amino lactols obtained from L-asparti
c acid containing a chiral alpha-silyloxymethyl function by simple Gri
gnard reagents exhibited high stereoselectivity to provide the corresp
onding optically active amino alcohols containing three contiguous ste
reogenic centers. The mechanistic origin of the asymmetric induction i
s rationalized based on chelation controlled models.
