Sw. Baldwin et al., PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF A CYCLIC ACYL NITRONE AS A SYNTHON FOR STEREOSPECIFIC ALPHA-AMINO-ACID SYNTHESIS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(38), 1998, pp. 6819-6822
The preparation and characterization of cyclic optically active ,6-tet
rahydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one-N-oxide (2) is described. This ni
trone, which is viewed as a template for the synthesis of gamma-oxygen
ated alpha-amino acids, reacts with alkenes efficiently and with high
stereospecificity. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. AII rights reserved.
