(R)-4-Phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-oxazolidin-2-one, readily available from D-phenyl
glycine, is shown to be an effective chiral auxiliary for stereoselective c
onjugate additions to attached alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acyl moieties. Its
utility is demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of the antifungal, anti
bacterial (-)-Aplysillamide B. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re
